Gold Mesostructures with Tailored Surface Topography and Their Self-Assembly Arrays for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
TL;DR: A facile particle mediated aggregation protocol to synthesize "sea urchin"-like gold mesoparticles with tailored surface topography via a secondary nucleation and growth process that is capable of self-assembling into monolayer or multiple layer arrays on Si substrates with a convincing reproducibility and homogeneity over large areas.
Generation of Hot Spots with Silver Nanocubes for Single-Molecule Detection by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering
TL;DR: This paper presents a simple strategy for the formation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) hot spots, or regions with extraordinary large electric-field enhancements, by depositing a silver nanocube on a metal substrate, providing an effective SERS platform for single-molecule detection.
Optical near-field mapping of plasmonic nanoprisms.
Matthias Rang,Andrew C. Jones,Fei Zhou,Zhi-Yuan Li,Benjamin J. Wiley,Younan Xia,Markus B. Raschke +6 more
TL;DR: Interferometric homodyne tip-scattering near-field microscopy is used for plasmonic near- field imaging of crystalline triangular silver nanoprisms to provide critical information for the selection of particle geometries as building blocks for plAsmonic device applications.
