One-dimensional arrays of nanoshell dimers for single molecule spectroscopy via surface-enhanced raman scattering

Abstract
The optical properties of one-dimensional arrays of metal nanoshell dimers are studied systematically using the T-matrix method based on Mie theory, within the context of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). It is shown that the local electromagnetic enhancement can be as high as similar to 4.5x10(13) for nanoshell dimer arrays with optimal geometry, and sensitive tunability in the resonant frequency can be gained by varying the geometrical parameters, making such structures appealing templates for SERS measurements with single molecule sensitivity. The extraordinarily high enhancement is attributed to a collective photonic effect constructively superposed onto the intrinsic enhancement associated with an isolated nanoshell dimer. (c)... (More)
