Hypothesis The reproducible surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensing of
an analyte relies on high quality SERS substrates that offer uniformity over large areas …

The present work reports on the formation of extremely low volume, silver nanocup-type
structures on the surface by annealing of ultra-thin silver film on quartz in inert environment …

Molecular‐interaction‐induced organizations are the basis of various biological and
nonbiological systems. The molecular recognition process involved in the formation of such …

Ag-Au alloy microflower substrates with tunable surface compositions are prepared through
simple thermolysis of metal-alkyl ammonium halide precursors for probing the role of surface …

A cost-effective method for the fabrication of a glass capillary based plasmonic platform for

We demonstrate a novel approach for fabricating surface enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS) substrates for single bacterial biosensing based on Ag cylindrical nanotrough …

In this paper, the synthesis of Ag microflowers for use as manipulable and reusable
substrates in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is demonstrated, working with …

A simple strategy, based on ultrafast heating of polystyrene microspheres infiltrated with a
zinc acetate solution, is employed here for preparing ZnO microcontainers with femtoliter …

Achieving high Raman enhancement (SERS) that is relatively uniform over a large substrate
area has been a major challenge in nanomanufacturing, as enhancement is localized …

We report for the first time, on the utility of plant-based biomaterial as enhanced-Raman
scattering probes. The bio-substrate used in this study are commonly found in plant extracts …
