Silver Particle and Silver Thiolate-Based Molecular Sensing/Recognition Units Operating via Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

, , , , , , , , , ,
Noble metallic nanostructures exhibit a phenomenon known as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in which the scattering cross sections are dramatically enhanced for molecules adsorbed thereon. We demonstrate that commercially available Ag(μAg) powders can be used [...]
