چکیده

A fast, generic, and suspension-based route to highly SERS-active assemblies of noble metal nanoparticles (Au, Ag) with small core-satellite gaps and single-particle Raman sensitivity is presented. Rationally designed, heterobifunctional Raman reporters serve as molecular linkers for electrostatic conjugation of the small satellites to the large core.

An ultrasensitive near-infrared satellite SERS sensor: DNA self-assembled gold nanorod/nanospheres structure

Coupled plasmonic assemblies have recently attracted tremendous research interest in the field of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) due to their unique optical and biocompatible properties. Using DNA to connect different parts of assembled plasmonic nanostructures has been a simple but useful method to achieve the expected nanocomposites. This work prepared a satellite SERS substrate bas...

Multi-color gold-nanoparticle-based tags (nanotags) are synthesized for combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and x-ray computed tomography (CT). The nanotags are synthesized with quasi-spherical gold nanoparticles encoded with a reporter dye (color), each with a unique Raman spectrum. A library of nanotags with six different colors were synthesized for a range of gold nanoparticl...

Graphene oxide and shape-controlled silver nanoparticle hybrids for ultrasensitive single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing.

Graphene oxide (GO) is an emerging material for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) due to its strong chemical enhancement. Studying the SERS performance of plasmonic nanoparticle/GO hybrid materials at the single particle level is crucial for direct probing of the chemical effect of GO on plasmonic nanoparticles. In this work, we integrate GO and shape-controlled Ag nanoparticles to creat...

Highly reproducible and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering from colloidal plasmonic nanoparticle via stabilization of hot spots in graphene oxide liquid crystal.

Although it is now well recognized that plasmonic gold/silver nanoparticle based aggregates having electromagnetic hot spots are responsible for high sensitivity in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), the high yield and reproducible production of such nanostructures are challenging and limit their practical application. Here we show a graphene oxide (GO) based approach in generating sta...

Laser induced SERS switching using plasmonic heating of PNIPAM coated HGNs.

This is the first report of SERS switching 'on and off' using laser induced plasmonic heating of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) coated hollow gold nanoshells (HGNs). The degree of Raman enhancement for these thermosensitive SERS nanotags was controlled by plasmonic tuning of the properties of the HGNs.
