Abstract (Swedish)
In this work, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was combined with dielectrophoresis (DEP) to realize a controllable in situ detection method of enhanced Raman signals from molecules in suspension environment. Polymer beads coated with gold nanoparticles were prepared as SERS ‘hot spot’ substrates. Several DEP electrode designs were evaluated and the stripe electrode succeeded in manipulating the particles to form clusters for creating strong plasmon coupling. We use the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation method to evaluate the electric field enhancement for the SERS effect. Enhanced Raman spectrum of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) and glucose molecule were obtained, and switchable enhancement was achieved for... (More)
