Abstract

Raman spectroscopy unleashed Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique able to detect substances down to single molecule level. Its applications are limited, however, because to realize a substantial Raman signal requires metal substrates that either have roughened surfaces or take the form of nanoparticles. An innovative approach is now demonstrated, where the substance under investigation, on a generic substrate, is covered by a layer of 'smart dust' consisting of gold nanoparticles coated by an ultrathin insulating shell of silica or alumina. The nanoparticles provide Raman signal amplification, and the coating keeps them separate from each other and from the probed substance. The new technique, termed SHINERS (shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy), is demonstrated by probing pesticide residues on the surfaces of yeast cells and citrus fruits. It could be useful in materials science and the life sciences, as well as for the inspection of food safety, drugs, explosives and environmental pollutants.
