Reduced symmetry core-shell nanoparticles SiO2-Ag Preparation and activity of surface-enhanced Raman_0.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19 Reduced symmetry core-shell nanoparticles SiO2/Ag Preparation and activity of surface-enhanced Raman [Abstract] wet chemical reduction method in the array of self-assembled monolayer deposited on the surface of silica nanoparticles of silver films prepared SiO2 core / Ag composite nano-structured cap. By transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV / Vis) to study and characterize the structure of the nanocomposite morphology, structure and optical properties. the composite nano-particle surface roughness, the surface showed numerous granular nano-Valley structure, SiO2 core diameter of 350 nm silver nano-cap surface plasmon resonance absorption of the two resonance peaks are located at 382 and 689 nm. methylene blue as probe molecule of the SiO2 particle size of 350 and 450 nm of SiO2/Ag cap composite nanoparticles surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity, the enhancement factor was 3.6 × 109 and 3.9 × 109. The results show that wet SiO2 prepared by chemical reduction of nuclear / Ag composite nano-structured cap is a good pull Man active substrate.

Surface plasmon resonance of metal nano-structures of the most important optical properties one. nanostructured metal surface plasmon resonance absorption and its shape, size and dielectric constant of the metal itself, but also with the surrounding refractive index and so on. by adjusting the geometry of the metal nano-structure, size and other parameters, you can control its Surface plasmon resonance wavelength, and other important optical properties. At present, had prepared a number of di
