Raman Scattering of Light by Molecules of Methyl Orange Dye on the Surface of Silicon Containing Ion-Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles

摘要

The possibility of using a new composite material based on porous silicon containing silver nanoparticles and synthesized by means of a unique implantation nanotechnology as an optically sensitive material in biological and chemical sensors is tested experimentally. It is demonstrated that detection of small amounts of the studied organic substance (methyl orange dye) is possible due to the effect of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from the molecules affected by the local electromagnetic field of the silver nanoparticles.
