Popis: A field theoretical derivation given for the average number of Cherenkov photon emission by a charged particle, in a dielectric medium of permitivity e1, moving parallel to the plane surface of a different dielectric medium of permitivity e2 > e1 at finite temperatures. Near threshold for the speed of the charged particle, it is shown that an enhancement of about 31% of this number is possible in the presence of the second medium, by choosing specific windows, obtained from a general formula, centered about points of the spectrum at any temperature and arbitrary values of the permitivities e1, e2 > e1. The conditions for this 31% enhancement are explicitly worked out for blue and red light.
