Abstract:Nanostructured noble metal thin films are highly studied for their interesting plasmonic properties. The latter can be effectively used for the detection of small and highly diluted molecules by the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Regardless of impressive detection limits achieved, synthesis complexity and the high cost of gold restrict their use in devices. Here, we report on a novel two-step approach to design and fabricate efficient SERS platforms that combines the deposition of a silver-al… Show more
