Au/Ag and Ag/Ag alloy surface roughened consisting of various mole fractions of gold and silver have been synthesized in aqueous solution by the co-reduction of chlorauric acid (HAuCl) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) with trisodium citrate. For the metallic alloys it was found that the maximum of the plasmon band shifts linearly towards the blue with increasing silver content. Metal nanoparticles could be used in applications such specificity sensors and substrates for Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (ERS). A goal in the emerging field of nanotechnology is to make nanostructures or nanoarrays with a very large surface area. Crystalline SnO2 and Sc2O3 were also used for ERS experiments. Tin (IV) oxide is widely applied as a sensor component as a consequence of the high sensitivity of its conductivity to the surrounding atmosphere. Scandium oxide has been used for high reflectance coatings for UV applications. Nanoparticles were characterization by UV-VIS Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron-Microscopy (SEM). The SEM has been used to provide microstructural information of coverage used. Nanoparticle structure and spectral and electronic properties of these systems may allow for applications in sensors development for the use in nitroaromatic explosive detection at the subpicograms range.© (2006) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
