Book excerpt: Detection of organic chemicals in liquid medium have been gaining utmost attention in recent times. Real time detection and monitoring of a variety of environmental pollutants, explosive materials, chemical agents,and pharmaceutical drugs in liquid medium are of great need in today's technological advancements. While there are several scattering, emission and spectroscopy techniques in use, Raman spectroscopy is attractive because of its molecular specificity i.e., each molecule has a Raman fingerprint. Raman spectroscopy utilizes the inelastic portion of the scattered wave for detection. But since intensity of inelastic scattering (Raman scattering) is very low, compared to the elastic scattering, low concentration analysis has been challenging. Surface-Enhanced Raman spectroscopy or Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) potentially overcomes this challenge, with its good detection capabilities for lower concentrations in liquid solution. SERS enhances the Raman signal of molecules (capable of 1010-fold enhancement) when they are adsorbed on a metal nanostructure (termed as SERS substrate) surface. The design of SERS substrate plays a crucial part in the enhancement of the Raman signal. Conventional 2D substrates are not very efficient in providing binding of the analyte molecules to SERS sensitive hotspots and in-situ detection can be challenging, owing to the low volume of liquid on the surface. These challenges can be overcome by using three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanostructures as SERS substrates, because of its high hotspot density along all spatial directions.Single crystal 3D silver dendrites are desirable for such application,due to the presence of nanotips and nanogaps which act as hotspots enhancing the Raman signal. These silver nano dendrites can be generated by a simple Galvanic Replacement Reaction (GRR) between copper wire and silver nitrate solution, yielding a multi-level branched nanostructure. These branched surfaces in proximity, have the capability to enhance the Raman signal of the analyte present, due to Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance effect (LSPR).In this thesis, a reliable, reusable and low-cost SERS device,employing 3D silver nano dendrites, that can be used for in-situ monitoring of organic molecules in liquid flows is presented. This device has the capability to detect very low concentrations of organic chemicals, at parts per million range in liquid in real time, without much of an erroneous measurement and sample preparation. The device was made of 3D silver nano-dendrites enclosed in channels in PDMS. It is reusable, with good reproducibility and has the potential for multichannel configurations that can provide parallel analysis. This device is made reliable by calibrating using Rhodamine-6g, as a reference molecule. It can be then used to detect various Raman active molecules in liquid solution with varying concentrations. We detected molecules of 4-Mercaptobenzoic Acid (4- MBA) and Methylene blue in liquid solutions with very low concentrations. Detection of Acetaminophen and Thiabendazole with good reproducibility, makes the device to have significant potentials at real-world applications in different fields. The device was successful in detecting ultra-low concentrations with high sensitivity, as compared to previously reported nano substrates thus making it a significant SERS substrate.

This book was released on 2023-03-04 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to provide knowledge for students and learners in the field of nanoscale science and nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is design, fabrication and application of nanostructures or nanomaterials, and the fundamental understanding of the relationships between physical properties or phenomena and material dimensions. Nanotechnology deals with materials or structures in nanometer scales, typically ranging from subnanometers to several hundred nanometers. Nanotechnology is a new field or a new scientific domain. Similar to quantum mechanics, on nanometer scale, materials or structures may possess new physical properties or exhibit new physical phenomena. Nanotechnology has an extremely broad range of potential applications from nanoscale electronics and optics and therefore it requires formation of and contribution from multidisciplinary teams of physicists, chemists, materials scientists and engineers. The aim of this book “Growth and Characterization of Semiconductor Nanostructure for Device Applications” is to summarize the fundamentals and established techniques of synthesis, fabrication, characterization and applications of nanomaterials and nanostructures so as to provide readers a systematic and coherent picture about synthesis, fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SERS was discovered in the 1970s and has since grown enormously in breadth, depth, and understanding. One of the major characteristics of SERS is its interdisciplinary nature: it lies at the boundary between physics, chemistry, colloid science, plasmonics, nanotechnology, and biology. By their very nature, it is impossible to find a textbook that will summarize the principles needed for SERS of these rather dissimilar and disconnected topics. Although a basic understanding of these topics is necessary for research projects in SERS with all its many aspects and applications, they are seldom touched upon as a coherent unit during most undergraduate studies in physics or chemistry. This book intends to fill this existing gap in the literature. It provides an overview of the underlying principles of SERS, from the fundamental understanding of the effect to its potential applications. It is aimed primarily at newcomers to the field, graduate students, researchers or scientists, attracted by the many applications of SERS and plasmonics or its basic science. The emphasis is on concepts and background material for SERS, such as Raman spectroscopy, the physics of plasmons, or colloid science, all of them introduced within the context of SERS, and from where the more specialized literature can be followed. - Represents one of very few books fully dedicated to the topic of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) - Gives a comprehensive summary of the underlying physical concepts around SERS - Provides a detailed analysis of plasmons and plasmonics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the liquid 's surface, the molecules have fewer neighbors in comparison with the bulk volume. As a result, the energy interaction shows itself in the surface tension. Traditionally, the surface tension can be assumed as a force in the unit of the length which can be counted by the unit of Newton on squared meter, or energy on the units of the surface. The surface tension, implies the interface between liquid and vapor, which is an example of the surface tensions. The equilibrium between these surface tensions, decides that a droplet on a solid surface, would have a droplet form or will change to layer form. This book collects new developments in wetting and wettability science.
