| Abstract: | In this short letter, we describe the effects of low temperature on the Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence (MEF) phenomenon. Fluorophores
close to Silver Island Films (SiFs) show on average two- to ten-fold enhancements in their fluorescence signatures at room
temperature. However, at 77 K, we have observed that MEF is even more pronounced as compared to an identical glass control
sample. We also demonstrate that the further enhancements in MEF occur at low temperature over a range of visible wavelengths
for different fluorophores, for both SiFs and 20 nm surface deposited gold colloids. |
