This review focuses on recent developments in hybrid and nanostructured substrates for
SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) studies. Thus substrates composed of at least …

We review the performance of various nanoscaled structures needed to support the
propagation of the surface plasmons responsible for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering …

Monolithic nanoporous copper was synthesized by dealloying Mn0. 7Cu0. 3 by two distinct
methods: potentiostatically driven dealloying and free corrosion. Both the ligament size and …

We report the deposition of thin films of silver (Ag) nanoparticles by pulsed laser ablation in
vacuum using the third line (355nm) of a YAG: Nd laser. The nanostructure and/or …

The suggested use of nanoporous gold for functional and structural applications requires
uniform and specifically crack‐free monolithic bodies, ideally with a structure size in the …

A series of porous silicon samples prepared at different etching parameters, namely etchant
composition, etching time and current density, was investigated as substrates for surface …

The enhancement of Raman signal on monocrystalline silicon gratings with varying groove
depths and on porous silicon grating were studied for a highly sensitive surface enhanced …

Colloidal lithography (CL), which uses self-assembled colloids as masks for fabricating 2D
nanostructures, is a simple and cost-effective alternative to advanced lithographic …

Au nanoparticles decorated porous Si was fabricated following a two-step process for SERS
applications. First, a Si wafer coated with predefined Au nanoisland arrays (∼ 15 nm in …

Porous alumina aerogel synthesized by sol–gel method was used as facile and sensitive
surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform. In a simple “drop‐test” SERS …
