| Abstract | Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was considered a potential spectroscopic technique for applications of molecular detection and has drawn great research interest during the past decade. So far, fabrications of cost-effective SERS substrates with high sensitivity and stability and the corresponding enhanced mechanisms are always among the list of research topics, although great progress has been made. In this work, Au particles were decorated on Si, ZnO film and ZnO nanorod arrays simultaneously by an economical method of ion sputtering, generating three kinds of SERS substrates for R6G detection. The morphology difference of Au particles on different samples and the consequent influence on Raman scattering were studied. The experiment results exhibited that substrates with Au particles decorated on ZnO nanorods had the highest Raman enhancement factor. Furthermore, multi-effect enhanced mechanisms summarized as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) filed coupling, electron transferring induced by LSPR of Au particles and whispering gallery mode (WGM) effect of the ZnO cavity were presented. This work provides a convenient and efficient method of fabricating SERS substrates and indicates that such proper metal/semiconductor composite structures are promising candidates for SERS applications. |
