Individual nanostructured materials: fabrication and surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
The progress of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) microscopy and spectroscopy on individual nanostructured materials has been reviewed in this feature article. After a brief introduction on individual nanomaterial SERS, we provide a systematic overview on the fabrication and SERS studies of individual nanoparticulates, nano-junctions and hierarchical nano-aggregate. These SERS-active nanomaterials have great potential in designing novel highly sensitive SERS substrates for the development of SERS-based sensing devices with a broad range of applications.
