The period covered by this document is from the beginning of 1995 through late 1997. The
most recent comprehensive review of this topic appeared in 1994 (1) and covered late 1991 …

Current concepts for chemical and biochemical sensing based on detection with optical
waveguides are reviewed. The goals are to provide a framework for classifying such sensors …

We present a unified expression for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The
expression contains a product of three resonance denominators, representing the surface …

A rapid and sensitive method was developed here for separation and detection of multiple
pathogens in food matrix by magnetic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-mpy) adsorbed on
HNO3 etched silver foil, chemically deposited silver films (silver mirror) and silver colloids …

We observe spectral and intensity fluctuations in Raman scattering from single molecules of
4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy) adsorbed on textured silver surfaces. We present evidence that …

Poly (allylamine)-stabilized spherical-and rod-shaped copper nanoparticles are synthesized
by a simple chemical reaction. The synthesis is performed by the reduction of copper (II) salt …

Nanoparticles are increasingly being used to investigate biological processes in various
animal models due to their versatile chemical, unique optical, and multifunctional properties …

Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts have been considered as one of the key
components in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Heteroatom-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) …

We report that 3 nm diameter CdTe quantum dots can generate enhanced Raman
scattering. The Raman signal of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy) adsorbed on CdTe quantum …
