Generation of Hot Spots with Silver Nanocubes for Single-Molecule Detection by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering
TL;DR: This paper presents a simple strategy for the formation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) hot spots, or regions with extraordinary large electric-field enhancements, by depositing a silver nanocube on a metal substrate, providing an effective SERS platform for single-molecule detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Ag nanocubes 18-32 nm in edge length: the effects of polyol on reduction kinetics, size control, and reproducibility.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the high sensitivity of synthesis outcomes to the trace amounts of impurities in a polyol, a major issue for reproducibility and scale up synthesis, did not exist in the present system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative analysis of the role played by poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in seed-mediated growth of Ag nanocrystals.
TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of the role played by poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) in seed-mediated growth of Ag nanocrystals and derived the coverage density of PVP on Ag(100) surface by combining the results from two measurements.
