ABSTRACTDeposition of size-selected copper and silver nanoparticles (NPs) on polymers using cluster beam technique is studied. It is shown that ratio of particle embedment in the film can be controlled by simple thermal annealing. Combining electron beam lithography, cluster beam deposition, and heat treatment allows to form specific patterns (arrays) of metal NPs on polymer films. Plasticity and flexibility of polymer host and specific properties added by coinage metal NPs open a way for different applications of such composite materials, in particular, for the formation of plasmonic structures with required configurations which can be applied for wave-guiding, resonators, in sensor technologies, and surface enhanced Raman scattering.

The degradation of the Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal under laser illumination during spectral measurements is typically observed. To improve the stability of the SERS spectra intensity, hybrid plasmonic structures involving graphene-based protective layers were formed. An observation of the time evolution of the characteristic peak from analyte molecules indicates that the graphene coating can be used to improve the stability of the SERS signal.

An advanced Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) Nanosensor Array, dedicated to serve in the future as a pH imager for the real-time detection of chemical reaction, is presented. The full flow of elementary steps—architecture, design, simulations, fabrication, and preliminary experimental results of structural characterization (Focused Ion Beam (FIB), TEM and SEM)—show an advanced SERS pixel array that is capable of providing spatially resolved measurements of chemical pH in a fluid target that became more than desirable in this period. Ultimately, the goal will be to provide real-time monitoring of a chemical reaction. The pixels consist of a nanostructured substrate composed of an array of projections or cavities. The shape of the nanostructures and the thickness of the metallic (Ag or Au) layer can be tuned to give maximal enhancement at the desired wavelength. The number and arrangement of nanostructures is optimized to obtain maximal responsivity.

ABSTRACTThe ionized cluster beam (ICB) deposition was use to stabilize the metastable zinc-blende (ZB) MnTe films directly on GaAs (100) substrates at 300 °C with MnTe cluster ion beam. Influences of the ionization and the acceleration voltage on film properties were investigated by the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), optical reflection, Raman scattering, and photoluminescence. The ZB-MnTe was stabilized by 3kV acceleration of the MnTe cluster beam. These results showed that the ICB deposition is useful to get compounds having crystalline phase different from the structures observed io equilibrium-grown bulk crystals.
