Abstract

Generally, the immobilization of two-dimensional nanoparticles in immersion procedures is time-consuming (over 24 h). In this paper, we report a very effective and simple method to fabricate two-dimensional gold nanoparticle patterns over large areas with high regularity for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We achieved a highly sensitive SERS colloid surface by optimizing temperature and immersion time. The surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-Vis, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The SERS activity of surfaces was compared by using two techniques: "dip" and "dip and dry" in an aqueous solution of 10-6 M crystal violet. The influence of the morphology of the surface was investigated with both the dip and dip and dry techniques. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009.
