Single-Molecule studies of Sol-Gel-Derived silicate films, microenvironments and film-drying conditions
Article Abstract:
The microenvironments found in silicate thin films dried under different conditions are characterized by single-molecule spectroscopy. Increased dye emission from the dried films results primarily from an increase in dye stability, rather than an increase in florescence quantum yield is proven.

Microheterogeneity in dye-doped silicate and polymer films
Article Abstract:
Individual molecular-scale environments in silicate thin films are described for the first time using single molecule confocal microspectroscopic methods. The physicochemical environment in which each molecule is entrapped is probed using rhodamine dyes doped into the material at nanomolar level. According to static fluorescence spectra and time-dependent fluorescence signals for many single molecules, the silicate materials are highly inhomogeneous compared to polymer films.
