Researchers at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) have developed a laser-based fabrication approach of large-scale SERS substrates. The results were published on the cover of the journal „ACS Omega".

FTMC researchers dr. Evaldas Stankevičius, dr. Ilja Ignatjev, Vita Petrikaitė, prof. Algirdas Selskis and prof. Gediminas Niaura have demonstrated a simple, reliable, cost-effective, laser-based fabrication approach of large-scale SERS substrates.

SERS substrates were fabricated using a repeated laser treatment of thin gold films. The manufactured SERS substrates exhibit a high enhancement factor, which is in the range of 10⁶.

The results of the research were published on the cover of the journal „ACS Omega" („Gold Nanoparticles Generated Using the Nanosecond Laser Treatment of Multilayer Films and Their Use for SERS Applications", doi: 10.1021/ acsomega.1c05165).
