Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Materials Science
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Fabricating ordered gold nanoparticle (AuNP) structures is crucial for advanced optical applications.
  • Controlling interparticle spacing is key to optimizing plasmonic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an environmentally friendly method for creating close-packed AuNP monolayers with controlled interparticle spacing.
  • To investigate the structural evolution of these monolayers and its impact on optical properties, particularly for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of AuNP monolayers using n-butanol on an Au aqueous colloid.
  • Characterization of structural evolution using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy.
  • Evaluation of optical properties via surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) under 632.8 nm excitation.

Main Results:

  • Achieved close-packed AuNP monolayers with sub-10 nm interparticle spacing.
  • Observed structural evolution into 2D aggregates upon aging.
  • Identified sub-10 nm spacing and particle dimers as critical for strong SERS activity.
  • Demonstrated that aggregate formation and loss of small interparticle spacing decrease SERS activity due to plasmon resonance shifts.

Conclusions:

  • An accessible method for tuning SERS properties of nanoparticle films by controlling interparticle spacing and aggregation.
  • Sub-10 nm interparticle spacing is essential for maximizing SERS enhancement.
  • Aging and subsequent aggregation negatively impact SERS performance by shifting plasmon resonance away from the excitation wavelength.
