Self-Shadowing Deposited Pure Metal Nanohelix Arrays and SERS Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, one-step glancing angle deposition is utilized to fabricate gold and silver nanohelix arrays (NHAs) on smooth glass substrates. During deposition, the substrate is cooled using liquid nitrogen and rotated with a tunable spin rate. The substrate spin rate is tuned to match the deposition rate to yield a spiral-like helix structure. The morphologies and optical properties of spiral-like Ag and Au NHAs are measured and compared. The polarization-dependent reflectance of Au NHA leads to a strong g-factor. The three-dimensional nanohelical structures are demonstrated to be a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate.

Obliquely Deposited Gold Nanohelices on Lithography-Free Prepared Nanoseeded Surfaces
A substrate surface on which gold particles are distributed is prepared by annealing an ultra-thin gold film to enable glancing angle deposition. By cooling the substrate and controlling its spin rate, two spiral-like and one screw-like gold nanohelix arrays are grown upon the seeded surfaces. The mean helix radius and pitch length are reduced to 17 and 55 nm, respectively. The g-factor of the ...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering is an effective analytical method that has been intensively applied in the field of identification of organic molecules from Raman spectra at very low concentrations. The Raman signal enhancement that makes this method attractive is usually ascribed to the noble metal nanoparticle (NMNP) arrays which can extremely amplify the electromagnetic field near NMNP sur...

We present the results of an investigation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) by optical phonons in colloidal CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) homogeneously deposited on both arrays of Au nanoclusters and Au dimers using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The coverage of the deposited NCs was less than one monolayer, as determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. SERS by optical ...
