Nanotechnology Center article featured on Nanotechweb.org: Nanocomposite route to ultra-sensitive SERS substrates
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique for identifying molecules at very low concentrations. This capability is critical for many analytical applications such as forensics, medical diagnostics, drug discovery and chemical development. Extremely large enhancements in the SERS signal can occur when molecules are adsorbed onto suitably rough, noble metal surfaces, which feature appropriate nanostructures and morphologies.
