Embedded silver nanostructures with different shapes and sizes are grown in Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Systematic study of their surface‐enhanced Raman properties is performed. Influence of shape, size, and coverage of the nanoparticles on the average enhancement factors is calculated with the help of standard analyte molecules viz. crystal violet and Rhodamine 6G to optimize the substrates for future sensing applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
