Optical properties of silver island films in the attenuated-total-reflection geometry

Applied Optics, 1986
The absorptances of 633-nm photons by silver island films formed on room temperature substrates were measured in an attenuated-total-reflection geometry by the photoacoustic method as a function of the angle of photon incidence. From the data obtained for s-polarized light ∊″, the effective dielectric function for the direction parallel to the film and

Resonance wavelengths of silver–gold compound metal island films

Journal of the Optical Society of America B: Optical Physics, 1995
The resonance wavelength of a silver–gold compound metal island (CMI) film can be easily defined by the control of the mixture ratio of silver and gold. We have investigated its mechanism by observing the film microstructure with a scanning electron microscope.

Enhanced absorption of Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers on silver island films

Thin Solid Films, 1989
Abstract Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of N,N ′-dioctadecyl rhodamine B (RhB derivative) were deposited on silver island films. The absorption spectra of the composite films were measured. Enhancement of the absorption was detected. The degree of enhancement decreased as the distance between the silver island film surface and the dye monolayers ...

Enhancement of the infrared absorption of methanol adsorbed on silver island films

Surface Science, 1999
Abstract Infrared absorption spectra for physisorbed methanol at 90 K on silver films of mass thicknesses 4–20 nm, deposited in UHV onto Ge substrate surfaces at 473 K, have been measured at normal incidence of radiation. The results show that the absorption intensity of the methanol C–O stretch mode depends on the mass thickness of silver film and ...

Optical and structural characterization of silver islands films on glass substrates

Vacuum, 2008
Metal islands films (MIFs) of Ag on glass substrates were fabricated by the e-beam evaporation process. The dependence of the surface plasmon (SP) absorption wavelength on the deposition mass thickness and substrate temperature was quantified. The structural and optical characterization of the MIFs, done by spectrometry, grazing incidence small angle X-

Vacuum deposition of silver island films on chemically modified surfaces

Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A: Vacuum, Surfaces and Films, 2003
The silver island films were vacuum deposited at two different evaporation rates on unmodified indium tin oxide substrates and the substrates modified with molecules containing thiol, pyridyl, and fluorocarbon groups. The films were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Silver Island Films for Write-Once Optical Storage Media

Optical Data Storage, 1994
Recently many write-once (WO) storage media have been proposed and investigated, including organic dye and tellurium based alloy, etc. A metal island film is one of the potential WO storage media. It is composed of nanometer-size metal particles (i.e., islands) and exhibits a high reflectance and large absorptance due to the resonance of free electrons

Preparation and optical property of island silver films embedded in silica

SPIE Proceedings, 2000
Island silver films (nanoclusters, quantum dots) embedded in silica are prepared on silicon wafers and glasses by sputtering. Atomic force microscope is used to characterize the morphology and distribution of silver nanoclusters, the size of nanoclusters varies from several ten to several hundred nanometers.

Near-Infrared Fluorescence Enhancement Using Silver Island Films

Plasmonics, 2006
Near-infrared (near-IR) excitation produces little background signal from biological molecules, making near- IR fluorescence technology highly useful in proteomic and genomic applications. To increase the emissions of near-IR fluorophores, we examined the use of metal-enhanced fluorescence on these longer wavelength dyes.

Raman spectroscopy of carbon monoxide adsorbed on silver island films

Surface Science, 1990
Abstract CO was adsorbed at 17 K on clean silver island films prepared in UHV. The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum shows besides the stretch band at ∼ 2112 cm−1 of “chemisorbed” CO an unshifted band at ∼ 2139 cm−1 whose intensity saturates at monolayer coverage. It is assigned to “ physisorbed” CO.
