Synthesis of Ag:SiO2:Ag Core:spacer:shell nanoparticles via the hydrogen reduction method and the characterization of their optical properties 2014 4901 Plasmonic nanostructures are of considerable interest due to their unique mechanism for light interaction and the considerable number of applications that result from, or are enhanced by, these interactions. Extensive work has been reported on the ...
SERS-active nylon fiber evidence swabs for forensic applications 2016 1993 In the field of forensic science, discovered materials that could potentially be used as evidence are screened using presumptive and confirmatory tests before the samples are subjected to DNA analysis. Both of these tests have drawbacks associated wi...
Optimization of sandwich-style SERS substrates for the detection of human skeletal tissue components 2016 1703 Detection of DNA from various sources is an essential and delicate process that plays a keyrole in the analysis of biological evidence. As such, the extraction of DNA from bone is awidely studied area in forensic science. Unfortunately, there is no s...
Optimization of the fabrication parameters for SERS-active forensic evidence swabs 2018 681 Currently, in the forensic field there is a need for development to improve biological evidence screening. Although, biological evidence screening is not required for DNA analysis it can give insight for crime scene reconstruction therefore providing...
Evaluating self-segregation of seminal fluid components via surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy 2020 517 In recent years, Raman spectroscopy has proven to be a promising confirmatory test for seminal fluid found in sexual assault kits. Perhaps the main disadvantage to using Raman spectroscopy in this context is low signal, which results from both the lo...
Plasmonic fluorescence enhancement of poly(3-hexylthiophene) for organic solar cell applications 2012 3879 Solar cells are becoming an attractive alternative energy source considering the need to lessen dependence on nonrenewable energy sources such as fossil fuels. Organic photovoltaics (PVs) are inexpensive to produce, flexible, and eliminate many pot...
Synthesis and characterization of silica/silver multilayer nanoparticles and their application in surface enhanced spectroscopy 2015 831 This research is focused on determining the most effective silver shell growth method formultilayered metallic nanoparticles, and determining the plausibility of using embedded[Ru(bpy)3]2+ as an internal standard for surface enhanced Raman spectrosco...
