Lithography-free approach to highly efficient, scalable SERS substrates based on disordered clusters of disc-on-pillar structures

We present a lithography-free technological strategy that enables fabrication of large area substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with excellent performance in the red to NIR spectral range. Our approach takes advantage of metal dewetting as a facile means to create stochastic arrays of circular patterns suitable for subsequent fabrication of plasmonic disc-on-pillar (DOP) structures using a combination of anisotropic reactive ion etching (RIE) and thin film deposition. Consistent with our previous studies of individual DOP structures, pillar height which, in turn, is defined by the RIE processing time, has a dramatic effect on the SERS performance of stochastic arrays of DOP structures. Our computational analysis of model DOP systems confirms the strong effect of the pillar height and also explains the broadband sensitivity of the implemented SERS substrates. Our Raman mapping data combined with SEM structural analysis of the substrates exposed to benzenethio...

A nano-Si/FeSi2Ti hetero-structure with structural stability for highly reversible lithium storage




Nanoscale , 2014, Advance Article

DOI: 10.1039/C3NR04954J, Paper

Mi Ru Jo, Yoon-Uk Heo, Yoon Cheol Lee, Yong-Mook Kang

A nano-Si/FeSi2 Ti hetero-structure has been synthesized for highly reversible Li-ion batteries by using a simple melt-spinning method. This composite has a very peculiar core/shell structure in which the FeSi2 Ti alloy acts as a mechanically supporting backbone and as an electronic pathway for the active Si attached to its surface, making electrochemical reactions follow relatively small volume expansion routes.
