Guided formation of sub-5 nm interstitial gaps between plasmonic nanodisks
Literature Information
Jung-Sub Wi, Tae Geol Lee
To achieve a reliable formation of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor with evenly distributed hot spots on a wafer scale substrate, we propose a hybrid approach combining physical nanolithography for preparing Au nanodisks and chemical Au reduction for growing them. During the chemical growth, the interstitial distance between the nanodisks decreased from 60 nm to sub-5 nm. The resulting patterns of the nanogap-rich Au nanodisks successfully enhance the SERS signal, and its intensity map shows only a 5% or less signal variation on the entire sample.

Nanoscale

Nanoscale is a high-impact international journal, publishing high-quality research across nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanoscale publishes a full mix of research articles on experimental and theoretical work, including reviews, communications, and full papers. Highly interdisciplinary, Nanoscale appeals to scientists, researchers and professionals interested in nanoscience and nanotechnology, quantum materials and quantum technology, including the areas of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, energy/environment, information technology, detection science, healthcare and drug discovery, and electronics. For publication in Nanoscale, papers must report high-quality reproducible new work that will be of significant general interest to the journal's wide international readership. Nanoscale is a collaborative venture between the Royal Society of Chemistry Publishing and a leading nanoscience research centre, the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) in Beijing, China. image block The journal publishes weekly issues, complementing and building on the nano content already published across the Royal Society of Chemistry Publishing journal portfolio. Since its launch in late 2009, Nanoscale has established itself as a platform for high-quality, cross-community research that bridges the various disciplines involved with nanoscience and nanotechnology, publishing important research from leading international research groups.
