Abstract

Metallic nanocomposite material is widely used in Surface Plasmon Rsesonance (SPR) due to its high stability and special optical features which enhance the Surface Enhanced Ramon Scattering (SERS) effect. A novel multi-layered Au-dielectric core-shell structural SERS substrate is proposed. Finite Elment Analysis (FEA) simulation shows multi-layer shell-core nanosphere (SiO₂@Au, SiO₂@Au@SiO₂...) can improve Local Field Enhancement (LFE), comparing to Au single-layer nanosphere. That is because multi-layer nanoshpere exists intra-layer coupling besides cavity coupling. Moreover, red-shift can be observed via tuning the thickness of multi-layer nanospheres, which is greatly beneficial to biological detection in near infrared region (NIR). Lastly, these multi-layer nanospheres are synthesised by liquid phase reduction. And high absorbance and red-shift effect are verified with UV-vis absorption spectrum.
