Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a popular method that amplifies weak Raman signals from Raman-active analyte molecules making use of certain specially-prepared metallic surfaces. The main challenge in SERS is to design and fabricate highly repeatable, predictable, and sensitive substrates. There are many fabrication methods that strive to achieve this goal, which are briefly summarized in this paper. The E-beam lithography method is proposed to be superior to the mentioned techniques. In this paper, we review how EBL can be utilized in the preparation of SERS substrates and we discuss the contributions to the field by the Ozbay group.

NUMERICAL ESTIMATION OF ENHANCEMENT FACTOR OF SILVER NANOWIRE FILTER FOILS AS SERS SUBSTRATES
Yüksel, Selen; Bek, Alpan; Taşgın, Mehmet Emre; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2023-1-26)
Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) is a surface-sensitive vibrational spectroscopy technique. Highly SERS-active substrates made of nanostructured noble metals have been widely investigated owing their activity to the formation of localized surface plasmon resonances, hotspots, where electromagnetic field is amplified by several orders of magnitude locally. Silver and gold are the two most studied noble metals due to their especially low losses and hence high enhancement factors (EF). Gold is chemical...
Laser induced periodic surface structuring for surface enhanced raman spectroscopy
Özkarslıgil, Zeynep Tuğçe; Bek, Alpan; Department of Physics (2020)
In this study, our aim is to fabricate and characterize efficient substrates of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) utilizing the field enhancement due to hot spots made by recently developed method of laser induced periodic surface structuring (LIPSS). LIPSS is a cost-effective technique for rapid processing of almost any materials compared to conventional lithography methods. Coating of a thin silver film on LIPSS applied substrate surface provides to observe the localized surface plasmon effect fo...
Use of gold nanoparticle containing poly (allylamine hydrochloride)/ poly (acrylic acid) multilayer films as sers substrates
Kölemen, Birsu; Ertaş, Gülay; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Department of Chemistry (2015)
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a surface sensitive vibrational spectroscopy technique that results in the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces. It is a powerful, sensitive and non-destructive technique which is used in chemical, material and life sciences including biosensing, catalysis, spectroelectrochemistry, criminology, single molecule SERS applications and many others. Nanoparticle (NP) embedded multilayer films using Layer by Layer (LbL) techniq...
Density functional and dynamics study of the dissociative adsorption of hydrogen on Mg (0001) surface
Kecik, D.; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-15)
A first principles study is performed to investigate the adsorption characteristics of hydrogen on magnesium surface. Substitutional and on-surface adsorption energies are calculated for Mg (0001) surface alloyed with the selected elements. To further analyze the hydrogen-magnesium interaction, first principles molecular dynamics method is used which simulates the behavior of H-2 at the surface. Also, charge density differences of substitutionally doped surface configurations were illustrated. Accordingly, ...
Quantum chemical calculations of warfarin sodium, warfarin and its metabolites
Tekin, Emine Deniz (Calisir); ERKOÇ, Figen; YILDIZ, İLKAY; Erkoç, Şakir (2008-07-01)
The structural, vibrational and electronic properties of warfarin sodium, warfarin and its metabolites have been investigated theoretically by performing the molecular mechanics (MM+ force field), the semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular-orbital (AM1), and density functional theory calculations. The geometry of the molecules have been optimized, the vibrational dynamics and the electronic properties of the molecules have been calculated in their ground state in gas phase.
