Enhancement of Raman Scattering of 1,4-Benzenedithiol by CdS Nanoparticles Assembled on a Silver Surface

CAS nanoparticles were assembled on the smooth surface of a piece of silver by using 1,4-benzenedithiol as coupling molecules. The SEM and resonance Raman spectroscopic characterizations demonstrate that the nanosized structure of CdS was still preserved upon assembly, and a two-dimensional structure of CdS nanoparticles was formed on the substrate surface. The FT-Raman spectra indicate that 1,4-benzenedithiol was coupled between CAS nanoparticles and the silver surface with a tilted orientation. The Raman scattering of 1,4-benzenedithiol was substantially enhanced by the assembled CdS nanoparticles, probably due to the alteration of the polarizability of 1,4-benzenedithiol and the electromagnetic interaction between the dipoles of the CdS particle with its image in the metal substrate.     

Self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol adsorbed on silver nanoparticles: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering study

Self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol (1,4-BDT) adsorbed on silver nanoparticles were investigated experimentally with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and theoretically with density functional theory (DFT) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The absorption spectroscopy of 1,4-BDT in silver sol at different time intervals was measured, which give the indirect evidence of self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol (1,4-BDT) adsorbed on silver nanoparticles. To obtain the direct evidence of self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol (1,4-BDT) adsorbed on silver nanoparticles, the SERS of 1,4-BDT were measured experimentally and investigated theoretically. The appearances of S–S stretching band (revealing the formation of multilayers of 1,4-BDT), and strongly enhanced S–C stretching, C–C ring stretching vibrational modes clearly show self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-BDT.     

Contribution of charge-transfer mechanisms to surface-enhanced Raman scattering with near-IR excitation.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering under near-IR excitation is investigated for p-aminothiophenol (PATP) molecules that are either adsorbed on an electrochemically roughened silver electrode or embedded in an Au/PATP/Ag molecular junction assembled on an indium-doped tin oxide electrode. The contribution from chemical enhancement can be amplified relative to the contribution from electromagnetic enhancement, because the energy of the near-IR excitation is far from the surface plasmon resonance of the nanosized metal particles. The energy required for the charge-transfer process for the Au/PATP/Ag molecular junction is much lower than that of the PATP molecules adsorbed on the electrochemically roughened silver electrode. Coadsorption of chloride ions on the metal nanoparticles may result in an alteration of the local Fermi level of the metal nanoparticles, thus leading to better energy matching between the energy level of the interconnecting PATP molecules and the Fermi level of the metal nanoparticles.

A simple method to synthesize triangular silver nanoparticles by light irradiation

We describe a simple method to synthesize triangular silver nanoparticles by photoreducing the silver ions by citrate. A noteworthy difference of the present method as compared with the previous photo-induced methods is that good shape control over the nanoparticles can be realized in the absence of soft templates or polymer directing agents. The formation process of the silver nanoparticles was investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the concentration of reactant plays important role in the morphology control of produced silver nanoparticles. As one of the applications of these nanoparticles, they were used as surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates and 1,4-bis[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]-benzene (BVPP) was used as a Raman probe to evaluate the enhancement ability of the triangular silver nanoparticles.     

Nanoparticle-mirror sandwich substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering

Sandwich surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates (3S) utilizing coupling between continuous metal films and plasmonic particles were fabricated using silver mirrors, electrochemically roughened films, and various sizes of silver nanoparticles. The effect of excitation wavelength and nanoparticle size on SERS spectra of poly(vinylpyridine), selected as a model compound, was studied to determine the optimum conditions for the strongest SERS signal. The Raman enhancement resulted from the plasmon coupling of silver nanoparticles to the underlying continuous film as well as the lateral plasmon coupling between the silver nanoparticles. The formation of the charge transfer complex was also observed. The 3S configuration was used to obtain SERS spectra of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a chemical signature for Bacillus anthracis.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of p-aminothiophenol on a Au(core)/Cu(shell) nanoparticle assembly.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) molecules adsorbed onto assemblies of Au(core)/Cu(shell) nanoparticles is reported. We compare it with the SERS spectrum of PATP adsorbed onto gold nanoparticles: both the absolute and relative scattered intensities of various bands in the two spectra are very different. The difference in relative intensity can be ascribed to chemical effects; the chemical enhancement ratio of the two substrates is approximately 3-5. A theoretical analysis based on a charge-transfer model is carried out, which yields a consistent result and shows that the difference in chemical enhancement is mainly due to the state densities and Fermi levels of the substrates. The difference in absolute intensity originates from electromagnetic (EM) enhancement. EM enhancement of Au(core)/Cu(shell) nanoparticles is unlike that of single-component gold or copper SERS-active substrates. The core/shell particle size for optimal enhancement is about 20 nm in the case of a 632.8 nm incident laser (the size ratio of the core and shell layers is about 0.6).
