Book excerpt: The analytical capabilities of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) reside in the performance characteristics of the SERS-active substrate. Signal enhancement observed in SERS is attributable to the presence of noble metal nanostructures on substrate surfaces. The rational design and control of variables such as shape and size, and distribution, density, and spacing of these nanostructures can lead to substrates that have greater analytical sensitivity and yield more reproducible enhancement. Through systematic control of the morphology of our SERS substrates, we have created ordered periodic arrays as well as random aggregates of nanoscale particles using electron beam lithography (EBL). A unique aspect of these EBL-created substrates is that the morphology is known with great precision. Once fabricated, the arrays and/or aggregates are coated with a SERS-active noble metal through physical vapor deposition (PVD). Both the uniform and random lithographically produced nanopatterns are studied by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy to examine the Stokes responses of various analytes, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to examine pattern surfaces post lithographic development and post noble metal deposition. In the case of the ordered structures, raw and normalized SERS data is seen to correlate with data from simple electrostatic calculations as well as the broad background continuum underlying each spectrum collected. Borrowing from the biological concepts of cloning and combinatorial chemistry, random morphology patterns are designed and spectrally mapped to locate "hot spots" within aggregates. Regardless of the type of substrate, ordered or random, by using EBL, the substrates can be reproducibly fabricated, yielding consistent analyte environments each time the substrate is created.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has the potential to be a useful analytical technique due to large signal enhancements. Unfortunately, SERS has several drawbacks, including a lack of reproducibility, which inhibits it from being a practical option. These large signals often arise from "hot spots" of extremely high enhancement on nanofeatured metallic substrates, the most common being comprised of aggregated silver colloid. It is difficult to reproducibly create these hot spots due to the randomness of the colloid substrates. However, through controlled substrate fabrication, many problems associated with SERS analysis can be overcome. Electron beam lithography (EBL) combined with reactive-ion etching (RIE) was used to fabricate a wide variety of aggregate-like structures that allow for methodically surveying the system to determine if areas of high enhancement are present. Any well performing areas were then recreated consistently to produce areas of similar enhancement. While the aforementioned "combinatorial" approach has its advantages, simple structures are often easier to fabricate and theoretically model. As such, a single structure consisting of a metal disc on a silicon pillar was created. A variety of tests were performed on these structures to determine the overall utility of the simple pillar system. The system was found to possess extremely high enhancement, making it an ideal system to both theoretically model and test experimentally. The system also has strong enough overall signal to allow for potential analytical implications. Studies were also conducted to determine the feasibility of using a strong enhancing silicon nanopillar system to make analytical measurements without a metal surface present. A special fabrication process using EBL and RIE was used to created tall, high aspect ratio pillars of known diameters. These nanopillars were then observed to exhibit special optical properties not seen in bulk silicon. Aside from modest Raman enhancement, these structures also demonstrated the ability to enhance the signal of specific analytes similar to SERS. Surface enhanced fluorescence (SEF) was also observed for different analytes, allowing for a variety of potential analytical areas.

Book excerpt: Biosensing involves the detection of analytes using biological elements as receptor agents for the specific binding of molecules to a surface. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), a surface-sensitive vibrational spectroscopy technique used to amplify Raman signals, provides unique advantages for biosensing. Unique Raman fingerprint spectra of targeted molecules allows for accurate identification of unknown samples. Inconsistencies in Raman signal enhancements, however, due to the irregularities of metallic features at the nanoscale, is a significant challenge with SERS. Nanofabrication technologies, including electron beam lithography (EBL) and nanoimprint lithography (NIL), provide resolution capabilities at the nanoscale. In this work, nanofabrication methods were used to fabricate SERS substrates for the detection of analytes using various immobilization strategies. Control over signal intensity and detection of biological bonding, with analytes in aqueous solutions was demonstrated. Investigations and testing of various aspects in the fabrication processes allowed for significant control over features at nanoscale dimensions.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design and fabrication of nanoparticles (NPs) and NP assemblies to sustain intense electromagnetic field enhancement for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based imaging and sensing have recently gained significant attention. In SERS, the intrinsic optical properties of plasmonic NPs are used to overcome the relatively low Raman cross-sections and thereby increase sensitivity. Sharp features in anisotropic NPs and interparticle gaps within NP assemblies have been identified as the locations where the highest SERS enhancements can be achieved, also known as "hot spots". Many attempts have been reported that deal with the bottom-up assembly of NPs to achieve highly reproducible, sensitive, and well characterized SERS substrates, but it still remains a challenge to attain monodisperse, highly reproducible "hot spots" and directional assembly. The focus of this dissertation is to develop synthetic protocols for controlled engineering of NPs with SERS "hot spots", and thereby to contribute to the advancement of SERS-based sensing and imaging applications. In this dissertation, the development of SERS substrates has evolved from dimers of spherical gold NPs (SP), to star-shaped gold NPs (ST), and finally to assembled superstructures of ST and SPs. The kinetically controlled assembly of SPs into dimers was achieved by using Raman active dithiolated linker molecules, with the highest yield reported for this method to the best of our knowledge, leading to SERS tags with a reproducible SERS enhancement on the order of 105. NP dimers, surface-functionalized to target U87 glioblastoma cancer cells, demonstrated a fast, reliable, and selective SERS-based detection of the diseased cells that outperforms fluorescence. The morphology of the STs was modified to possess longer and sharper spikes with a narrower tip curvature thereby increasing the electromagnetic field localization at the tips. SERS substrates were designed by periodically and reproducibly immobilizing STs on a planar substrate with high surface coverage and limited to no clustering, thus enabling femtomolar detection of organic analytes with an outstanding 109 SERS enhancement. Finally, the core-satellite assemblies of ST with SPs were achieved through conjugation linker chemistry. These assemblies demonstrated SERS enhancement of two orders of magnitudes greater than isolated STs thereby improving the sensitivity of potential SERS-based imaging and sensing applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool to obtain information on molecular composition. This technique has advanced greatly since its discovery, allowing Raman spectroscopic analysis down to the detection of single molecule. The heart of SERS performance lies on the choice and fabrication of SERS substrate. The most investigated metals for SERS substrates are Au and Ag. Unfortunately, the fabrication of such devises poses a significant challenge due to an expensive deposition technology including, vapor deposition, electron-beam lithography, focused ion-beam lithography, and nano-transfer printing. Herein, we report a simple and low-cost solution processing method to fabricate SERS substrates. Au nanoparticles and Au/CdS core/shell nanoparticles were synthesized and their solutions deposited on glass plates in the form of nanoparticle films. Although the enhancement of Raman signal due to Ag nanoparticle substrates is greater than that of Au, the high stability and a wide variety of fabrication methods makes Au nanoparticles more favorable candidates for SERS substrates. The performance of the SERS substrates fabricated using this method was found to be comparable with the commercially available substrates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has long been the interest of researchers in chemistry, physics and engineering, especially since the discovery that SERS can probe into the system down to the single molecule (SM) level. Despite the large number of publications regarding the fabrication of SERS substrates, it has been a challenge in the field to quantify the SERS signal and universally compare substrates. Traditionally, enhancement factor (EF) is used as an indicator of substrate quality, but the EF calculation is hugely dependent on the estimation of the surface coverage and other factors that are determined largely subjectively. Therefore, this thesis aims at discussing other parameters that can also be used to evaluate different substrates. Six different SERS substrates of Ag or Au nanoparticles of different sizes were fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL) and characterized by electron microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. SERS substrates were mapped for different concentrations of a probe molecule. Through subsequent baseline correction and principle component analysis (PCA), the "intensity" of individual spectrum was obtained and the shapes of intensity histograms of each substrate were acquired.Instead of calculating EF, five criteria (six quantification methods in total) were employed to comprehensively evaluate the six substrates. These were density of hot spots (characterized by the number of zero-intensity events), enhancement (represented by mean intensity), spatial variation (calculated by RSD of intensity), repeatability (realized by cross correlation) and histogram shape (quantified by skewness and kurtosis). These new methods provide insights to the understanding of the properties of SERS substrates in terms of hot spots. Different substrates may exhibit better performance in terms of one criterion but worse in terms of others. Those variations in performance can be explained by their surface morphology.These more elaborated methods are believed to provide a more comprehensive approach to evaluate and compare substrates than the traditional EF values. The thesis also paves the way for future study on SM-SERS and fabricating better SERS substrates.

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

These experts are constantly pushing the limits of technology in pursuit of chemical imagingâ€"the ability to visualize molecular structures and chemical composition in time and space as actual events unfoldâ€"from the smallest dimension of a biological system to the widest expanse of a distant galaxy. Chemical imaging has a variety of applications for almost every facet of our daily lives, ranging from medical diagnosis and treatment to the study and design of material properties in new products. In addition to highlighting advances in chemical imaging that could have the greatest impact on critical problems in science and technology, Visualizing Chemistry reviews the current state of chemical imaging technology, identifies promising future developments and their applications, and suggests a research and educational agenda to enable breakthrough improvements.
