Plasmonics and single-molecule detection in evaporated silver-island films
The plasmonic origin of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) leads to the concept of hotspots and plasmon coupling that can be realized in the interstitial regions, or on specially engineered, silver and gold nanostructures.

Single-Molecule Studies of Enhanced Fluorescence on Silver Island Films [PDF]
We investigated enhanced fluorescence of Cyanine 5 dyesnear silver island films (SIFs) by the use of single moleculespectroscopic method. We found that, on average, the Cy5molecules are 18-fold brighter on SIFs than on a glasssurface and that single-molecule lifetimes are 10-foldshorter on SIFs as compared to glass.

Decreasing photobleaching by silver island films: application to muscle [PDF]
Recently it has become possible to study interactions between proteins at the level of single molecules. This requires collecting data from an extremely small volume, small enough to contain one molecule-typically of the order of attoliters (10(-18) L).

Enhancement of FITC Fluorescence by Silver Colloids and Silver Island Films
Silver colloids and silver island films as fluorescence enhancement systems are the subject of this paper. Enhancement of fluorescence of molecules placed near metallic nanoparticles is a result of resonance interaction of exciting and emitted lights ...

Giant third optical harmonic generation in island silver films
Giant third optical harmonic (TH) generation has been experimentally observed in island silver films. The TH intensity in the island silver films studied is more than two orders of magnitude higher than the value observed for the smooth surface of a ...

Utilizing a combinatorial method, we used spectroscopic ellipsometry to determine the dielectric functions of silver island films over a large range of sizes and morphologies from the percolation threshold down to average particle size smaller than 5 nm.

Tunable lasing on silver island films by coupling to the localized surface plasmon
Lasing of N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-[1,1':4',1”-terphenyl]-4,4”-diamine (BMT-TPD) films on silver island films (SIFs) was investigated.
