Hexagonal arrays of plasmonic gold nanopyramids on flexible substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering
NANOTECHNOLOGY(2022)
摘要
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with pyramidal gold nanostructures increases the signal of Raman active analytes, since hotspots form at the edges and tip of a nanopyramid under illumination. 2D hexagonal arrays of pyramidal nanostructures with a quadratic base are fabricated through cost-effective nanosphere lithography and transferred onto elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane. By making use of the {111} crystal plane of a silicon (100) wafer, an inverted pyramidal array is etched, which serves as the complementary negative for the gold nanostructures. Either a continuous gold thin-film with protruding pyramids or separate isolated nanopyramids are produced. Three basic fabrication strategies are presented. The SERS enhancement is verified by Raman mapping of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules. Fabrication on a flexible substrate paves the way for future applications on curved surfaces or in situ tunable resonances.
