SERS from Ag and Au nanoarrays made using photochemical patterning

• Metallic nanostructures made from 'coinage' metals such as silver or gold, yield plasmons when light creates a collective oscillation of the conduction electrons on the surface of the metal, creating a greatly enhanced electromagnetic field [1-3]. The specific properties of the plasmonic structures have been found to be greatly dependent on factors such as size, shape, and dielectric environment [1-3]. These properties have been exploited in a variety of plasmonic applications ranging from sensing to enhanced fluorescence [4].
