Ag nanoparticles were exclusively deposited inside the pores of the porous anodic alumina (PAA) template through the deposition cycle including the incubation and the subsequent reduction of Ag(NH3) . Both the density and size of the produced Ag nanoparticles increased as the deposition cycle number increased. A field‐emission scanning electron microscopeand an ultraviolet‐visible spectrometer were applied, respectively, to study the morphology and the extinction spectra of the Ag nanoparticles. The optimum deposition number was found from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of p‐aminothiophenol recorded on the Ag–PAA substrates prepared under increasing number of deposition cycles, manifested an enlarging trend of peak intensity. A point‐by‐point SERS mapping of p‐aminothiophenol on the Ag–PAA substrate was acquired to characterise the homogeneity of the substrate. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an extremely powerful tool for the analysis of the composition of bimetallic nanoparticle (BNP) surfaces because of the different adsorption schemes adopted by several molecules on different metals, such as Au and Ag. The preparation of BNPs normally implies a change in the plasmonic properties of the core metal. However, for technological applications it could be interesting to synthesize core–shell structures preserving these original plasmonic properties. In this work, we present a facile method for coating colloidal gold nanoparticles (NPs) in solution with a very thin shell of silver. The resulting bimetallic Au@Ag system maintains the optical properties of gold but shows the chemical surface affinity of silver. The effectiveness of the coating method, as well as the progressive silver enrichment of the outermost part of the Au NPs, has been monitored through the SERS spectra of several species (chloride, luteolin, thiophenol and lucigenin), which show different behaviors on gold and silver surfaces. A growth mechanism of the Ag shell is proposed on the basis of the spectroscopic and microscopic data consisting in the formation and deposit of Ag clusters on the Au NP surface.

Electromagnetic coupling between localised plasmons on metal nanoparticles and the strong localised fields on a micro‐structured surface is demonstrated as a means to increase the enhancement factor in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. Au nanoparticles of diameter 20 nm were deposited on a micro‐structured Au surface consisting of a periodic array of square‐based pyramidal pits (Klarite). The spectra of 4‐aminothiophenol (4‐ATP) were compared before and after deposition of Au nanoparticles on the micro‐structured surface. The addition of Au nanoparticles is shown to provide significantly higher signal intensities, with improvements of the order of ∼103 per molecule compared with spectra obtained from the micro‐structured substrate alone. This hybrid approach offers promise for combining nanoparticles with micro‐ and nano‐structured surfaces in order to design SERS substrates with higher sensitivities.

Multifunctional TiO2/Ag composite nanowires are fabricated with a hydrothermal method by precipitating Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on the surfaces of TiO2 nanowires. This hierarchical one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure can be used as a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with high sensitivity, for detecting the rhodamine 6G (R6G) in a wide range of low concentrations (from 1 × 10 6 M to 1 × 10-12 M). In addition, the substrate can be self-cleaned under the irradiation of ultraviolet (UV) light due to the superior photocatalytic capacity of the TiO2/Ag composite nanostructure, making the recycled use of SERS substrates closer to reality. With both the evident SERS performance and high efficiency of photocatalytic capacity, such TiOz/Ag composite nanowires demonstrate considerable potential in the chemical sensing of organic pollutants. 相似文献

In surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the scattered intensity is drastically increased due to a resonant interaction with surface plasmons of coin metals. SERS is a nondestructive spectroscopic method applied also to biomedical samples. It inherits the advantages of normal Raman spectroscopy and at the same time overcomes the inherent low sensitivity problem. These properties endow SERS with exciting opportunities to be a successful analytical tool for cell analysis. SERS can be used to detect only molecules located on or close to the metallic nanostructures which can support surface plasmon resonances for the enhancement of the Raman signals. Therefore, these metallic nanostructures play a key role in the application of SERS in cell analysis. By incorporating the SERS substrates into the biosamples, molecular structural probing and cellular imaging become possible. In the past decade, analysts worldwide have developed many schemes to study the chemical changes and component distribution in cells by using SERS. In this paper, the application of SERS in cell analysis is reviewed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

We report the observation of large surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) (106) for 4‐tert‐butylpyridine molecules adsorbed on a silver electrode surface in an electrochemical cell with electrode potential set at − 0.5 V. A decrease in electrode potential to − 0.3 V was accompanied by a decrease in relative intensities of the vibrational modes. However, there were no changes in vibrational wavenumbers. Comparison of both normal solution Raman and SERS spectra shows very large enhancement of the intensities of a1, a2, and b2 modes at laser excitation of 488 nm. Enhancement of the non‐totally symmetric modes indicates the presence of charge transfer as a contributor to the enhancement. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Zinc oxide nanowires with two distinct morphologies were synthesized on silicon substrates using a simple thermal evaporation and vapor transport method in an oxidizing environment. The as‐synthesized nanowires were coated with gold to allow excitation of surface plasmons over a broad frequency range. SERS studies with near‐IR excitation at 785 nm showed significant enhancement (average enhancement > 106) with excellent reproducibility to detect monolayer concentrations of 4‐methylbenzenethiol (4‐MBT) and 1,2‐benzendithiol (1,2‐BDT) probe molecules. The Raman enhancement showed a strong dependence on the gold film thickness, and the peak enhancement was observed for a ∼40‐nm‐thick film. The Raman enhancement was stronger for randomly oriented nanowires compared to aligned ones suggesting the importance of contributions from the junctions of nanowires.

In this work, the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of seven genomic DNAs from leaves of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Ramat.), common sundew (Drosera rotundifolia L.), edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum Cass), Epilobium hirsutum L., Hypericum richeri ssp. transsilvanicum (Čelak) Ciocârlan, rose (Rosa x hybrida L.) and redwood (Sequoia sempervirens D. Don. Endl.), respectively, have been analyzed in the wavenumber range 200–1800 cm−1. The surface‐enhanced Raman vibrational modes for each of these cases, spectroscopic band assignments and structural interpretations of genomic DNAs are reported. A high molecular structural information content can be found in the SERS spectra of these DNAs from leaf tissues. Based on this work, specific plant DNA–ligand interactions or accurate local structure of DNA might be further investigated using surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Besides, this study will generate information which is valuable in the development of label‐free DNA detection for chemical probing in living cell. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The Raman and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of a black dyed silk sample (BDS) were registered. The spectral analysis was performed on the basis of Raman and SERS spectral data of isolated samples of Bombyx mori silk fibroin, its motif peptide component (GAGAGS) and the synthetic reactive black 5 dye (RB5). The macro FT‐Raman spectrum of the silk sample is consistent with a silk II‐Cp crystalline fraction of Bombyx mori silk fibroin; the SERS spectrum is highly consistent with conformational modifications of the fibroin due to the interactions with the Ag nanoparticles. The GAGAGS peptide sequence dominates the Raman spectrum of the silk. The SERS spectrum of the peptide suggests a random coil conformation imposed by the surface interaction; the serine residue in the new conformation is exposed to the surface. Quantum chemical calculations for a model of the GAGAGS–Ag surface predict a nearly extended conformation at the Ag surface. The Raman spectrum of the dye was analysed, and a complete band assignment was proposed; it was not possible to propose a preferential orientation or organization of the molecule on the metal surface. Quantum chemical calculations for a model of the dye interacting with a silver surface predict a rather coplanar orientation of the RB5 on the Ag metal surface. The Raman spectrum of the BDS sample is dominated by signals from the dye; the general spectral behaviour indicates that the dye mainly interacts with the silk through the sulphone (–SO2–) and sulphonate (–SO2–O–) groups. Besides the presence of dye signals, mainly ascribed to the sulphone and sulphonate bands, the SERS spectrum of the BDS sample also displays bands belonging to the amino acids alanine, glycine, serine and particularly tyrosine.

Raman spectroscopic investigation on weak scatterers such as metals is a challenging scientific problem. Technologically important actinide metals such as uranium and plutonium have not been investigated using Raman spectroscopy possibly due to poor signal intensities. We report the first Raman spectrum of uranium metal using a surface‐enhanced Raman scattering‐like geometry where a thin gold overlayer is deposited on uranium. Raman spectra are detected from the pits and scratches on the sample and not from the smooth polished surface. The 514.5‐ and 785‐nm laser excitations resulted in the Raman spectra of uranium metal whereas 325‐nm excitation did not give rise to such spectra. Temperature dependence of the B3g mode at 126 cm−1 is also investigated. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of tryptophan (Trp) were obtained. A unique SERS spectrum of Trp, corresponding to the most stable conformation and orientation on the metal surface, is observed after a stabilization period. The Trp molecules interact with the surface through both the carboxylate and amino groups; the aliphatic moiety is close to the surface. The pyrrole ring of the indole moiety is farther from the surface than the benzene fragment. The observed spectra vary depending on both the preparation of the silver colloid and the aggregation time. The interpretation of the experimental results is supported by theoretical treatment of the molecule on the silver surface. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The absolute Raman scattering cross section (σRS) for the 1584‐cm−1 band of benzenethiol at 897 nm (1.383 eV) has been measured to be 8.9 ± 1.8 × 10−30 cm2 using a 785‐nm pump laser. A temperature‐controlled, small‐cavity blackbody source was used to calibrate the signal output of the Raman spectrometer. We also measured the absolute surface‐enhanced Raman scattering cross section (σSERS) of benzenethiol adsorbed onto a silver‐coated, femtosecond laser‐nanostructured substrate. Using the measured values of 8.9 ± 1.8 × 10−30 and 6.6 ± 1.3 × 10−24 cm2 for σRS and σSERS respectively, we calculate an average cross‐section enhancement factor (EF) of 0.8 ± 0.3 × 106.

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of hydroxyproline and one deuterated analogue are reported. In this work, we tackled the problem of SERS reproducibility by employing gold colloids instead of the usual silver sols to achieve plasmon enhanced Raman scattering. We slightly modified modified a previously published procedure to obtain to obtain the colloid, and concentrated the gold particles by centrifugation. The SERS spectra show distinctive bands of hydroxyproline, assigned by comparison to normal Raman spectra and density functional theory calculations. Repeated measurements using this procedure showed reproducible SERS spectra. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The Ag–Au compound nanostructure films with controllable patterns of Ag nanoparticle (NP) aggregates were fabricated. A strategy of two‐step synthesis was employed toward the target products. Firstly, the precursor Au NP (17 nm) films were synthesized as templates. Secondly, the Ag NPs (45 nm) were deposited on the precursor films. Three types of Ag NP aggregates were obtained including discrete Ag NPs (discrete type), necklace‐like Ag NP aggregates (necklace type), and huddle‐like Ag NP aggregates (huddle type). The surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) property was studied on these nanostructures by using the probing molecule of rhodamine 6G under the excitation laser of 514.5 nm. Interestingly, the different types of samples showed different enhancement abilities. A statistical method was employed to assess the enhancement. The relative enhancement factor for each Ag NP was estimated quantitatively under the ratio of 1 : 25 : 18 for the discrete‐type, necklace‐type, and huddle‐type samples at the given concentration of 10−8 mol/l. This research shows that the enhancement ability of each Ag NP is dependent on the aggregate morphology. Moreover, the different enhancement abilities displayed different limit detection concentrations up to 10−8, 10−11, and 10−9 mol/l, separately. The understanding of the relationship between the defined nanostructures and the SERS enhancement is very meaningful for the design of new SERS substrates with better performance.

In this work, we use electrochemical oxidation–reduction cycles (ORC) methods to prepare surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)‐active gold substrates modified with SiO2 nanoparticles to improve the corresponding SERS performances. Based on the modified substrates, the SERS of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) exhibits a higher intensity by 3‐fold of magnitude, as compared with that of R6G adsorbed on a SERS‐active Au substrate without the modification of SiO2 nanoparticles. Moreover, the SERS enhancement capabilities of the modified and the unmodified Au substrates are seriously destroyed at temperatures higher than 250 and 200 °C, respectively. These results indicate that the modification of SiO2 nanoparticles can improve the thermal stability of SERS‐active substrates. The aging in SERS intensity is also depressed on this modified Au substrate due to the contribution of SiO2 nanoparticles to SERS effects. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In 2013,a breakthrough experiment pushed the Raman mapping of molecules via the tip-enhanced Raman scattering(TERS) technique to a sub-nanometer spatial resolution,going into the single-molecule level.This surprising result was well explained by accounting for the critical role of elastic molecule Rayleigh scattering within a plasmonic nanogap in enhancing both the localization and the intensity level of the Raman scattering signal.In this paper,we theoretically explore the influence of various geometric factors of the TERS system on the spatial resolution of Raman mapping,such as the tip curvature radius,tip conical angle,tip–substrate distance,and tip–molecule vertical distance.This investigation can help to find out the most critical geometric factor influencing the spatial resolution of TERS and march along in the right direction for further improving the performance of the TERS system. 相似文献

We investigate with Raman spectroscopy how gold nanostructures of different shape, size and geometry locally modify a graphene cover layer through strain. The resulting phonon softening translates into frequency downshifts of up to 85 cm–1 for the 2D‐mode of graphene. With spatially resolved and excitation dependent Raman measurements we demonstrate that the downshifted Raman peaks exclusively arise from strained graphene subject to plasmonic enhancement by the nanostructures. The signals arise from an area well below the size of the laser spot. They serve as a local probe for the interaction between graphene and intense light fields. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We report observations of single‐molecule detection of thionine and its dynamic interactions on aggregated gold nanoparticle clusters using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Spectral intensities were found to be independent of the size of Au nanoparticles studied (from 17 to 80 nm) at thionine concentration below 10−12 M or at single‐molecule concentration levels. Raman line separations and, in particular, spectral fluctuations and blinking were also observed, suggesting temporal changes in single molecular motion and/or arrangements of thionine on Au nanoparticle surfaces. In contrast, by using dispersed Au nanoparticles, only ensemble SERS spectra could be observed at relatively high concentrations (> 10−8 M thionine), and spectral intensities varied with the size of Au nanoparticles.
