SERS From Transition Metals and Excited by Ultraviolet Light

  • Chapter
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 103))

4 Conclusion

In this Chapter, we employed the 3D-FDTD method to calculate and evaluate the local electromagnetic field by investigating the effect of the surface geometry, the size, shape, and aggregation forms of nanoparticles on the SERS activity of transition metal systems. Our calculation on the cauliflowerstructured nanoparticles shows that the em enhancement is sensitive not only to the polarization of the exciting light, the electronic property of metal and the surface morphology, but also to the symmetric nature of the SERS nanostructures. We demonstrated that the reason for the high enhancement in the nanocube system could be due to the large effective volume involved in the strong coupling between neighboring nanocubes. For the core-shell system, we show that the em enhancement decreases rapidly with increasing shell thickness and when the shell thickness exceeds 6 nm, the core no longer influences the SERS of the shell. The detection of a reasonably good UVSERS signal on Pt, Rh, Ru and Co surfaces rather than Ag and Au is mainly due to the intrinsically suitable optical properties of transition metals in the UV region. Overall, the extension of SERS substrate to the transition-metal systems and use of UV excitation have improved the generality of the SERS technique and could be helpful for comprehensive understanding of SERS.
