Raman spectrum high electromagnetic enhancement substrate coated with gain medium and preparation

Abstract

The invention relates to a Raman spectrum high electromagnetic enhancement substrate coated with a gain medium, which is an enhancement Raman spectrum substrate structure on a surface coated with gain medium on a metal blind hole array surface, wherein round, rectangular or triangular blind hole arrays are uniformly distributed on substrate metal, and the coated gain medium is a rhodamine6G/polymethylmethacrylate film which is prepared by dissolving dye molecules in an organic solvent. The preparation comprises the following steps of: dissolving rhodamine6G and polymethylmethacrylate into dichloromethane; then coating the obtained solution on the surface of a substrate metal chromium film and drying to form a film coated with the gain medium on the surface of the substrate metal chromium film; and processing blind hole arrays on the surface of the film by adopting a focused ion beam lithograplay technology. The Raman spectrum high electromagnetic enhancement substrate has the advantages that the gain medium material is introduced onto a traditional SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) substrate to compensate metal loss so as to obtain SERS enhancement factors far higher than that of a substrate without a gain medium substrate, so that the practicality of the SERS is further improved, and a technical reference is provided for the research of SERS enhancement mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular sensing, and in particular relates to a Raman spectrum high electromagnetic enhancement substrate coated with a gain medium. Background technique [0002] The Raman scattering spectrum of molecules is directly related to the rotation and vibration of molecules, and can study the structure of matter at the molecular level. Food safety, inkblot identification, etc., have been more and more important applications. However, Raman spectroscopy has a very fatal shortcoming: the detection sensitivity is too low, and the Raman scattering cross section of molecules is usually only 10 -29 cm -2 S -1 , so there are very high requirements for sample volume and spectrum acquisition time. This limits the application of Raman spectroscopy to some extent. [0003] In 1974, M. Fleischmann et al. found for the first time in experiments that the Raman signal intensity of pyridine molecules adsorbed on the ele...

However, Raman spectroscopy has a very fatal shortcoming: the detection sensitivity is too low, and the Raman scattering cross section of molecules is usually only 10 -29 cm -2 S -1 , so there are very high requirements for sample volume and spectrum acquisition time

Although the metal micro-nano substrate can greatly enhance the SERS signal, the further increase of the SERS enhancement factor based on the electromagnetic enhancement mechanism is hindered due to the existence of metal loss.
