Silver nanocrystallites are obtained through immersion of porous silicon samples in AgNO3 solutions and a successive thermal annealing. The efficiency of nanostructures as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is checked on cyanine-based dyes and horseradish peroxidase, evidencing detectable concentrations as low as 10-7 to 10-8 M. The substrate efficiency is strictly related to the Ag particle morphology, which could yield to either local surface plasmons (LSP) coupled to individual particles or to inter-particle short-range interaction.

Abstract

Silver nanocrystallites are obtained through immersion of porous silicon samples in AgNO3 solutions and a successive thermal annealing. The efficiency of nanostructures as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is checked on cyanine-based dyes and horseradish peroxidase, evidencing detectable concentrations as low as 10-7 to 10-8 M. The substrate efficiency is strictly related to the Ag particle morphology, which could yield to either local surface plasmons (LSP) coupled to individual particles or to inter-particle short-range interaction.
