Here, a SERS-active substrate was fabricated by decorating a MoS2 monolayer with Ag nanowire （NW） and nanoparticle （NP） structures, using a spin-coating method. Both experimental and theoretical results indicate that strong SERS signals of rhodamine 6G （R6G） molecules can be achieved at ＂hotspots＂ formed in the Ag NW-Ag NP-MoS2 hybrid structure, with an enhancement factor of 106. The SERS enhancement is found to be strongly polarization dependent. The fabricated SERS substrate also exhibits ultrasensitive detection capabilities with a detection limit of 10-11 M, as well as reliable reproducibility and good stability.展开更多

Here, a strategy of dynamically aggregating/releasing gold nanopartides is demonstrated using a gold-nanofilm-coated nanofiber, with the assistance of enhanced optical force and plasmonic photothermal effect. Strong SERS signals of rhodamine 6G are achieved at the hotspots formed in the inter-particle and film-partide nanogaps. The proposed SERS substrate was demonstrated to have a sensitivity of 10-12 M, reliable reproducibility, and good stability.展开更多
