Roughness-Induced Resonance for Molecular Fluorescence Near a Corrugated Metallic Surface

Authors: P. T. Leung; Young S. Kim; Thomas F. George; STATE UNIV OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO DEPT OF CHEMISTRY
Abstract:
Based on a dynamical energy transfer theory for the molecular decay rate near a rough metallic surface, a new resonance structure is predicted which is mediated by the roughness and which is absent in the static image theory. The implication of this new resonance structure to other phenomena, such as electron energy loss spectrum and cross coupling in thin films, is pointed out.
