A general overview of the field of single-molecule (SM) surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS) as it stands today is provided. After years of debates on the basic …

This review describes advances made toward the application of surface-enhanced Raman
scattering (SERS) in sensitive analysis and diagnostics. In the early sections of this review …

The nano is a Greek word, which means small in size. It is used as the prefix for the billionth
from the range 9 to 10. Particles which have two or more dimensions in the size range as 1 …

Here, we report the shell thickness-dependent Raman enhancement of silver-coated gold
nanoparticles (Au@ Ag NPs) for the identification and detection of pesticide residues at …

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been demonstrated to be an excellent
analytical tool for a wide range of research and practical applications owing to its ability to …

A new method for the synthesis of uniform silver nanoparticles using a single silver reduction
step is presented. Fine control over the nanoparticle's size is achieved by varying the …

Herein we report the development of bimetallic Au@ Ag core–shell nanoparticles (NPs)
where gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) served as the seeds for continuous deposition of silver …

It is well-known that Ag–Au bimetallic nanoplates have attracted significant research interest
due to their unique plasmonic properties and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) …

The combination of biology and nanotechnology has led to a new generation of
nanodevices that make it possible to characterize the chemical, mechanical, and other …

Silver nanowires, made in an aqueous chemical reduction process, can be reacted with gold
salt to create bimetallic nanowires. Treatment of the bimetallic products with aqueous …
