Although silver nanowires as plasmonic components have been investigated extensively in
both theoretical and experimental studies, a systematic study is still lacking. In this work, a …

Since its inception as a simple, low cost alternative to more complicated lithographic
techniques such as electron-beam and dip-pen lithography, capillary force lithography (CFL) …

We present the next generation covert plasmonic security labels based on Ag nanowire
structures and their polarization dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) …

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)“hot spots” are highly localized regions of
enhanced electromagnetic field within a SERS substrate that dominate the overall SERS …

Assembly of nanowires into ordered macroscopic structures with new functionalities has
been a recent focus. In this Letter, we report a new route for ordering hydrophilic Ag …

The progress of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) microscopy and spectroscopy
on individual nanostructured materials has been reviewed in this feature article. After a brief …

Developing well-defined nanostructures with superior surface-enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS) performance is a critical and highly desirable goal for the practical applications of …

In this paper we report on the influence of polysaccharides' molecular structure on the
antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of composites based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) …

We reveal nanoscale morphological changes on the surface of a silver nanowire (AgNW) in
the conventional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurement condition. The …

Highly porous bimetallic nanowires manufactured via a simple galvanic reaction have
demonstrated superior activity in surface-enhanced Raman scattering, allowing …
