Abstract: | Certain colloidal metals such as.silver (Ag), gold (Au) and copper, (Cu), when properly or assembled, display remarkable enhancement effect to the Raman scattering cross section of adsorbed molecules. This surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) phenomenon has found wide applications in the study of interfacial chemical processes and is a potentially non-invasive technique in molecule-specific analysis. However, the SERS activity of metal colloids depends sensitively on both the synthetic method and the aggregation and assembly procedure, making it difficult to develop SERS into a reliable and quantitative analytical technique. To solve this problem, one needs to develop a substrate with a well-defined adsorption area and SERS activity. One approach to achieve this goal is to assemble a monolayer of uniform colloidal metals onto a well-defined secondary substrate. Here we report our effort in assembling monolayers of uniform Au nanoparticles on the well-defined optical-inactive microparticles in a layer-by-layer (LbL) manner and the use of such assembly as SERS-active substrate. |
