Abstract

The dependence of magnitude of the electric near-field on the separation between metal nanoparticles for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates was experimentally verified. Diameters of gold-coated nanopores in a ceramic alumina substrate were varied to study the charge buildup near interparticle junctions and its effect on the enhancement factor due to SERS. The substrates were characterized by sensing a Rhodamine dye and calculating the associated Raman enhancement factors. Decreasing Au interparticle distance increases the electric near-field and shifts the plasmon resonance peak accordingly.
