Rational side-by-side self-assembly of gold nanorods with short and medium aspect ratios via self-evaporation method to boost their potential as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) represents a compelling detection methodology centered on the electromagnetic fields, commonly termed "hot spots", generated around noble nanoparticles. Nonetheless, the efficacy of electromagnetic field (EMF) amplification...
