Enhanced Raman Scattering by Polystyrene Microspheres and Application for Detecting Molecules Adsorbed on Au Single Crystal Surface

By assembling polystyrene microspheres on a sample surface, the surface Raman signal could be enhanced. The dependence of the enhancement effect on the size of microspheres was systematically investigated and it was found that microspheres with a diameter of 3.00 μm showed the highest enhancement of ca 5 folds. By utilizing the enhancement effect of the microspheres, the surface Raman intensity of malachite green isothiocyanate (MGITC) adsorbed on Au(111) surface could be enhanced by 20 folds, indicating that this method could effectively improve the detection sensitivity of surface Raman spectroscopy for the adsorbed species on single crystal surface. The later signal increment corresponds to the Raman enhancement effect of nearly 3 orders of magnitude. The enhancement effect is mainly owing to the formation of nanojets when a laser is focused on the microspheres of appropriate diameter. The formation of nanojets will lead to the highly localized electromagnetic field, which will then significantly enhance the Raman process in the nanojets. The main reason for obtaining different enhancements on two types of samples was analyzed.     

Surface plasmon resonance and Raman scattering effects studied for layers deposited on Spreeta sensors

The possibility to detect and prospectively to characterize deposited organic layers directly on Spreeta sensors by Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy was studied. A special holder of sensors that enabled measurement of FT Raman spectra was developed. The effects of various angles of incidence of the laser beam on the sensor surface were studied with respect to the intensity of Raman spectra and to the risks of artifacts. No effect of measurement of FT Raman spectra on SPR functionality of sensors was proven. The key role of the surface morphology of the sensing gold layer on repeatability of SPR curves and the possibility to check the surface by optical microscopy was demonstrated.

The monothiocyanate complexes of chromium ion(III) on the silver electrode by the surface enhanced Raman scattering

Two adsorbate forms of the monothiocyanate complex of chromium ion on the silver electrode are identified in the surface enhanced Raman scattering. The spectroscopic, especially the electronic, properties of these two forms under different applied voltages on the electrode and under both 632.8 and 514.5 nm excitations are studied by the bond force constants (bond orders) and the bond polarizability derivatives which are retrieved from the Raman intensities by an algorithm developed by Wu and co-workers. The work shows the potential of this approach to the surface enhanced Raman scattering and other fields like resonance Raman that involve vibronic coupling.     

Detection of Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds Improved by Hollow Nanocages of Layered Double Hydroxide on Ag Nanowires

To detect biomarkers from human exhalation, air flow dynamics on the nanoparticle surface were explored by a surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor. A hollow Co‐Ni layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocage on Ag nanowires (Ag@LDH) was prepared. Ag nanowires provided amplified Raman signals for trace determination; hollow LDH nanocages served as the gaseous confinement cavity to improve capture and adsorption of gaseous analytes. The Raman intensity and logarithmic analyte concentration exhibit an approximately linear relationship; the detection limit of SERS sensors for aldehyde is 1.9×10^?9 v/v (1.9 ppb). Various aldehydes in mixed mimetic gas are distinguished by Raman spectra statistical analysis assisted by multivariate methods, including principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The information was recorded in a barcode, which can be used for the design and development of a desktop SERS sensor analysis system for large‐scale lung cancer detection.

Effect of Ag and Au nanoparticles on the SERS of 4-aminobenzenethiol assembled on powdered copper

Raman scattering measurements were conducted for 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) assembled on powdered copper substrates. Initially, very weak Raman peaks were detected, but upon attaching Ag nanoparticles probably via NH2 groups onto 4-ABT/Cu, distinct Raman spectra were observed. Considering the fact that no Raman peak was identified when Ag nanoparticles were adsorbed on 4-aminophenyl-derivatized silane monolayers assembled on silica powders, the Raman spectra observed for Ag@4-ABT/Cu should be surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra, occurring by an electromagnetic coupling of the localized surface plasmon of Ag nanoparticles with the surface plasmon polariton of Cu powders. The extra enhancement factor attainable by the attachment of a single Ag nanoparticle is estimated to be as large as 1.4 x 10(5) in the case when 632.8-nm radiation is used as the excitation source. When Au nanoparticles were attached onto 4-ABT/Cu, at least an order of magnitude weaker Raman spectra were obtained at all excitation wavelengths, however, indicating that the Au-to-Cu coupling should be far less effective than the Ag-to-Cu coupling for the induction of SERS.

C60离子束撞击固体表面的坍塌沉积(I)共焦显微拉曼光谱研究

Raman spectroscopy was applied to characterize the species deposited from the mass-selected C60 ion beam which was accelerated to 900 eV. The substrates for the deposition were (0001) surface of highly oriented pyrolitic graphite and (111) surface of gold crystal. The species do not exhibit the Raman scattering features of buckminsterfullerene, but displays peaks at 1585 and 1332 cm-1 instead. The former peak is the chararteristic Ranan peak of hexagonal graphite, and the latter can be attributed to the amorphous carbon in sp3 hybridization. The result reveals that C60 was collapsed to form a new phase when it collides on the solid surface.     

Spectroscopic and Electrochemical Characterization of Cytochrome P450st‐DDAB Films on a Plastic‐Formed Carbon Electrode

We have studied the characterization of thermophilic cytochrome P450 (P450st)‐didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) films by using UV‐vis absorption, resonance Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. The observed Raman spectrum indicated near‐native conformation of the heme iron in DDAB film on the surface of a glass slide, while on the surface of a plastic‐formed carbon (PFC) electrode, the conformation of P450st‐DDAB was very similar to that of heme‐DDAB film, suggesting the release of heme from P450st in DDAB films on PFC electrodes. When NaBr was added as salt to the casting solution, the result of Raman spectrum indicated near‐native conformation of P450st in DDAB film even on the PFC electrode, but no redox potential of P450st which has near native structure was observed. This study suggests the essential experimental conditions when working with heme protein‐DDAB films as, in some cases, heme iron from proteins is released on the surface of the electrode.     

Raman microspectroscopic study on polymerization and degradation processes of a diacetylene derivative at surface enhanced Raman scattering active substrates. 2. Confocal Raman microscopic observation of polydiacetylene adsorbed on active sites

Confocal Raman microscopic measurements were performed at room temperature on the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (DA) prepared on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active Ag island films, two-dimensional (2D) Raman images of which exhibit bright and dim spots on a dark background. The measurements performed by focusing the excitation laser light (488 nm) on the dark background indicate the prompt appearance of the Raman bands (1515 and 2115 cm(-1)) due to polydiacetylene (PDA) in the red phase and subsequent diminution of the Raman bands. On the other hand, the spectra observed by focusing the excitation laser spot on the dim and bright spots exhibit almost random fluctuations, giving rather narrow Raman bands in the 1620-1000 cm(-1) region, which appear and disappear temporarily with varying intensities under the continuous irradiation at 488 nm. Broad Raman bands appear around 1580 and 1360 cm(-1), which are ascribable to amorphous carbon, at a later stage of the observation, the intensities from the bright spot being more than 100 times stronger than those from the dim spot. The narrow bands are ascribed to a series of carbonaceous intermediates such as polyenes, graphite sheets with various sizes, and folded or reorganized forms of the sheets including carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, which are formed during the conversion of PDA to amorphous carbon. The random spectral fluctuation was interpreted by considering that the intermediates undergo thermally activated diffusion and get temporarily in contact with the SERS-active site, resulting in the enhancement of their Raman bands and the fluctuation.     

Combined Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies of a NanoBud structure

We succeeded in providing for the first time the evidence of the NanoBud structure (fullerenes attached to the surface of SWCNT) by Raman spectroscopy in combination with TEM. This work was performed on the individual freestanding NanoBud structure. The Raman features corresponding to the typical vibrational modes of fullerenes were observed in the range of 1440-1480 cm(-1). The simultaneous presence of SWCNT and fullerene features in the Raman spectrum is in good agreement with the TEM and ED investigations on the same NanoBud structure, which confirmed the Raman measurement interpretation of the SWCNT chirality assignment (16,11) and the presence of fullerenes on the surface of the SWCNT.

The effects of the underpotential and overpotential deposition of lead and thallium on silver on the Raman spectra of adsorbates

It is shown that the underpotential deposition (UPD) and dissolution of monolayers of Pb and Tl onto Ag surfaces roughened in a controlled oxidation-reduction cycle produces a Ag surface which shows diminished surface enhanced Raman scattering (DSERS). Significantly enhanced Raman spectra can still be obtained from electrodes covered by complete UPD and overpotential deposited (OPD) layers of the metals. Correct choice of electrolytes for the UPD of the metal reduces the loss of enhanced Raman scattering; chloride ions, constituents of many electrolytes used in the investigation of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), are shown to be especially active in causing the loss of SERS.

Effects of the Roughening Procedures on Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering from Iron Electrodes

For about two decades, SERS has almost been restricted to the study of Ag, Au and Cu, which has impeded the wide application of Raman spectroscopy in surface science. Various efforts have been made in order to extend surface Raman spectroscopic studies to other metals, especially transition metals. In one of these approaches,particles or thin-layers of silver or gold are deposited on the surface of interest to enhance the Raman signal of species in the immediate vicinity.
