چکیده
A comparative study of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of the spherical gold nanoparticles (NPs) and highly uniform and oriented gold nanotriangles (NTs), anchored on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated conducting glass surfaces is reported. Contact and non-contact mode atomic force microscopic (AFM) analyses confirmed that all the triangles observed are equilateral and uniformly stacked. The NTs-coated ITO exhibited intense near-infrared (NIR) absorption and showed an extremely strong SERS activity than the spherical NPs. The NTs showed a very good SERS enhancement factor on the order of 4 x 10(8). The results are interpreted in terms of the increased density of hot spots on the NTs-coated surface.

The active substrates in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy were prepared through self-assembly of nanoparticles on functionalized glasses. Colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared chemically in two different sizes by reduction of AgNO3 using trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride. Gold–silver core–shell nanoparticles were also prepared to compare between the o...
متن کاملTemplated Growth of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering-Active Branched Gold Nanoparticles within Radial Mesoporous Silica Shells
Noble metal nanoparticles are widely used as probes or substrates for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), due to their characteristic plasmon resonances in the visible and near-IR spectral ranges. Aiming at obtaining a versatile system with high SERS performance, we developed the synthesis of quasi-monodisperse, nonaggregated gold nanoparticles protected by radial mesoporous silica shells...
متن کاملSize and Shape Effect on Biomedical Applications of Nanomaterials
Earlier, we studied [1] the I-V response of electron transport within the plain and normal to the film surface of gold nanotriangles formed using the crude lemongrass extract. The I-V plot was fairly linear for the out-of-plane measurement while considerably higher across the film surface (681 kΩ) than within the plane of the film (32 kΩ). This could be due to the field-enhancement effects (FEE...
متن کاملHighly Enhanced Raman Scattering of Graphene using Plasmonic Nano-Structure
Highly enhanced Raman scattering of graphene on a plasmonic nano-structure platform is demonstrated. The plasmonic platform consists of silver nano-structures in a periodic array on top of a gold mirror. The gold mirror is used to move the hot spot to the top surface of the silver nano-structures, where the graphene is located. Two different nano-structures, ring and crescent, are studied. The ...

A hybrid integration of nanoplasmonic antennas with silicon nitride waveguides enables miniaturized chips for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. This integration can result in high-throughput SERS assays on low sampling volumes. However, current fabrication methods are complex and rely on electron-beam lithography, thereby obstructing the full use of a...
