چکیده

Sphere segment void, or inverse opal, films prepared from a variety of coinage metals have shown promise as reliable and reproducible substrates for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Sphere segment void substrates are prepared from colloidal templates consisting of one or more layers of polystyrene spheres. In this paper, we investigate the reflection spectra and SERS for a gold film consisting of two-tiers of spherical cavities, and show that the best SERS enhancements are obtained from substrates consisting of just a single layer of sphere segment voids.

Preparation of copper sphere segment void templates for 1 electrochemical SERS and their use to study the interaction of amino 2 acids with copper under potentiostatic control . 3

11 We describe a simple method to prepare nanostructured copper electrodes based on 12 electrodeposition of copper through a polystyrene nanosphere template to produce a copper sphere 13 segment void (SSV) structure. We show that the SSV copper electrodes give a large SER 14 enhancement under potentiostatic control and we use the SSV copper electrodes to study the 15 adsorption of aromatic and ...

Quantitative electrochemical SERS of flavin at a structured silver surface.

In situ electrochemical surface enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) for an immobilized monolayer of a flavin analogue (isoalloxazine) at nanostructured silver surfaces are reported. Unique in the present study, the flavin is not directly adsorbed at the Ag surface but is attached through a chemical reaction between cysteamine adsorbed on the Ag surface and methylformylisoalloxazine. Even though the f...

SERS-melting: a new method for discriminating mutations in DNA sequences.

The reliable discrimination of mutations, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and other differences in genomic sequence is an essential part of DNA diagnostics and forensics. It is commonly achieved using fluorescently labeled DNA probes and thermal gradients to distinguish between the matched and mismatched DNA. Here, we describe a novel method that uses surface enhanced (resonance) Raman ...

SERS at structured palladium and platinum surfaces.

Palladium and platinum are important catalytic metals, and it would be highly advantageous to be able to use surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to study reactive species and intermediates on their surfaces. In this paper we describe the use of templated electrodeposition through colloidal templates to produce thin (<1 microm) films of palladium and platinum containing close packed hexag...
