3D hotspot matrix of Au nanoparticles on Au island film with a spacer layer of dithiol molecules for highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Abstract Engineering of efficient plasmonic hotspots has been receiving great attention to enhance the sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In the present study, we propose a highly sensitive SERS platform based on Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on Au island film (AuIF) with a spacer l...
