title: Amorphous silicon-carbon alloys for efficient localized surface plasmon resonance sensing.
abstract: This paper describes a novel platform for preparing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing surfaces. It is based on the coating of gold nanostructures deposited on glass with an amorphous silicon-carbon alloy overcoating. The interest in coating the Au NSs with an amorphous silicon-carbon alloy resides in the possibility of incorporating carboxyl functions directly onto the surface via Si-C covalent bonds. This permits the use of hyrdosilylation reactions to modify the sensor surface. The use of this multilayer structure for the detection of hybridization events is discussed.
