Silver nanoclusters decked diamond thin film as a substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering

Modified diamond thin film surfaces are proven candidates for bio-sensoric applications. A typical polycrystalline diamond thin film surface decked with silver (Ag) nanoclusters is found to be suitable for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Simple and time effective procedures are used to fa...
