SERS substrates by vacuum-free dealloying of Au-based metallic glass ribbons
Plasmonics has become an important photonic device due to the advancement of fabrication technologies in recent decades. It has many applications including solar cells, nonlinear optics, metamaterials, photocatalysts, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), etc. Among those, SERS
Magnetically-responsive nanophotonics with iron-doped silver nanoparticles
Nanostructures play an important role in photonics, thanks to the wide range of active and passive optical effects they can generate. For instance, silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) are renowned for their plasmonic properties exploitable for quenching or
Brownian motion of gold nanostructures made visible using SERS fluctuations due to single molecules
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) a surface-sensitive effect which produces a dramatic enhancement of the Raman signature of molecules adsorbed on some nanostructures such as gold nanoparticles. In practical terms, SERS allows the fast acquisition of spectral datasets
Detecting nerve gases VX and Tabun with a handheld device
Threats from nerve gases, or more accurately termed chemical warfare agents, constitute a serious security issue of increasing global concern because of surging terrorist activities. A big problem with nerve gases are that they are very challenging
