Cage effect in poly(alkyl methacrylate) thin films studied by nile red single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy
Interactions in a probe-polymer cage were monitored by spectral fluctuations in the emission spectroscopy of single molecules of Nile Red in poly(alkyl methacrylate) thin films (25-200 nm) in the 278-323 K temperature range. Three types of emission spectra were identified. The highest emission energ...
