Abstract

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements show that the Ag nanoparticles that yield surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of single molecules of Rhodamine (R6G) are all compact aggregates consisting of a minimum of two individual particles. Comparison of 514.5 and 632.8 nm excitation shows that the single molecule R6G signal is significantly higher when the excitation wavelength is resonant with the absorption band of R6G and suggests that the Raman excitation spectrum follows the absorption profile for R6G. We have also observed an interesting superlinear power dependence of the SERS signal. On average, by increasing the incident power by 2 orders of magnitude and decreasing the integration time by the same factor to maintain constant fluence, increases of 4 to 6 times were observed in the SERS intensity. We discuss these results in terms of model where the R6G molecule that yields single molecule SERS signals is located at the junction of two Ag nanoparticles. We have also modeled the system using molecular resonance Raman theory to provide further insight into the enhancement mechanism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
