Effect of silver nanowires on the surface-enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) of the RNA bases

High Sensitivity, High Selectivity SERS Detection of MnSOD Using Optical Nanoantennas Functionalized with Aptamers

“…As shown in Figure 2 (black line), the signal from the bare antennas (after plasma ozone cleaning) is almost flat with only some vibration peaks of the CaF 2 substrate appearing. 63 Much stronger signal is observed on antennas coated with the aptamer (Figure 2 64,66,67,73,77 The peaks positions agree with the literature on SERS of DNA and DNA bases, while the relative enhancement intensities of the single peaks turns out to be substrate-dependent (materials, shapes). 64,65,67,68,73 The surface blocking with 6-MHO (blue curve) does not shift the DNA vibrations, but neither provides new peaks to the spectrum but only yields some increase of the continuum background.…”

Analysis of plant genomic DNAs and the genetic relationship among plants by using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

“…The sugars and phosphate molecules are arranged on the outside and the base pairs are arranged inside the skeleton [22]. Being on the outside, deoxyribose molecules closely bond to the surface of the silver nanoparticles [23]. Since the distance between these molecules and silver nanoparticles is smaller, the effect of surface enhancement is better [24].…”

Preparation and FMR analysis of Co nanowires in alumina templates

“…Ferromagnetic nanowire (NW) arrays have attracted considerable interest in recent years owing to their potential applications in magneto-electronic, thermoelectric, and field-emitting devices, (perpendicular) magnetic data storage and biological applications [1][2][3][4]. Various approaches ranging from top-down electron beam, X-ray, and laser-interference lithographies to bottom-up template and self-assembly (chemical) methods have been used to prepare metal NWs [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
