چکیده
To simply reduce HAuCl(4) using 2-thiophenemethanol in an aqueous solution at room temperature, a novel metallic Au nanostructure with a high SERS activity was obtained. Flat sheet-like Au nanoleaves possessing many nanogap hotspots bound with a large percentage of high-index facets were obtained.

Nanogap-Rich Au Nanowire SERS Sensor for Ultrasensitive Telomerase Activity Detection: Application to Gastric and Breast Cancer Tissues Diagnosis
Telomerase has attracted much attention as a universal cancer biomarker because telomerase is overexpressed in more than 85% of human cancer cells while suppressed in normal somatic cells. Since a strong association exists between telomerase activity and human cancers, the development of effective telomerase activity assay is critically important. Here, a nanogaprich Au nanowire (NW) surface-en...
متن کاملRepeated Solid-state Dewetting of Thin Gold Films for Nanogap-rich Plasmonic Nanoislands
This work reports a facile wafer-level fabrication for nanogap-rich gold nanoislands for highly sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) by repeating solid-state thermal dewetting of thin gold film. The method provides enlarged gold nanoislands with small gap spacing, which increase the number of electromagnetic hotspots and thus enhance the extinction intensity as well as the tunabil...
متن کاملGuided formation of sub-5 nm interstitial gaps between plasmonic nanodisks.
To achieve a reliable formation of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor with evenly distributed hot spots on a wafer scale substrate, we propose a hybrid approach combining physical nanolithography for preparing Au nanodisks and chemical Au reduction for growing them. During the chemical growth, the interstitial distance between the nanodisks decreased from 60 nm to sub-5 nm. The r...
متن کاملComparative Characteristics of Gold-Gold and Gold-Silver Nanogaps Probed by Raman Scattering Spectroscopy of 1,4-Phenylenediisocyanide
A nanogap formed by a metal nanoparticle and a flat metal substrate is one kind of “hot site” for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The characteristics of a typical nanogap formed by a planar Au and either an Au and Ag nanoparticle have been well studied using 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) as a probe. 4-ABT is, however, an unusual molecule in the sense that its SERS spectral feature is de...
متن کاملMulti-layer nanogap array for high-performance SERS substrate.
A multi-layer nanogap array composed of three linearly aligned gold nanogaps is fabricated for a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate. The overall process for the proposed structure is simple and reliable with the use of a photolithography-free fabrication process, which includes only deposition and etching. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is employed to form a uniform and highl...
