Spontaneous Decay and Resonance Fluorescence of an Admolecule Near a Silver Surface with Random Roughness

Abstract

The spontaneous decay rate and resonance fluorescence spectrum of a molecule adsorbed near a rough silver surface are calculated. An assumed random distribution of the roughness on the surface is treated as an effective layer. The calculated decay rate is in excellent agreement with experimental measurements. The effects of surface roughness on both the spontaneous decay rate and resonance fluorescence spectrum are discussed for different cases. Keywords: Spontaneous decay; Resonance fluorescence; Admolecule; Near silver surface; Random roughness.
