Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the charge transfer process and SERS enhancement mechanism in the Ag/MBA/PAN system with varying thicknesses of PAN. The results show that increasing the PAN thickness leads to higher frequency and intensity of the characteristic MBA band, as well as increased intensity of the b2 mode. The degree of CT also increases with increasing PAN thickness, due to the excited SPR from Ag. The electromagnetic enhancement mechanism at the PAN/Ag interface generates hot electrons and facilitates electron transfer in the CT process.

Summary: Understanding and controlling the disorder in materials, especially caused by structural composition and doping effects, is crucial to studying the optical characteristics. In this study, a SiO2 -Ag-rGO composite structure was prepared, where the introduction of Si atoms controlled the plasmon effect of Ag nanoparticles and the defect concentration of rGO. This control facilitated charge separation and transfer, and adjustments in defect concentration impacted the energy band position of rGO for charge transfer resonance coupling.

Summary: To enhance the near-field focusing around nanoscale metal particles, we designed large-sized gold double nanorings with nanoscale gaps between them. These gaps resemble hot halos where single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering occurs. The synthesis of these gold nanohalos was achieved using a novel strategy based on hexagonal gold nanoplates as templates. The resulting nanohalos exhibited near-field focusing, confirmed by both experimental measurements and theoretical simulation. The study also revealed a correlation between the distances of intra-nanogaps and particle sizes of gold nanohalos on single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering, with high enhancement factors and reproducibility.

Summary: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool in biophysics, bioanalytical chemistry, and biomedicine for monitoring extracellular chemical activity. However, the limited choice of SERS nanotags has hindered its practical application. This study repurposes fluorescent chemosensors as SERS nanotags, using a plasmon-induced reaction to immobilize them onto plasmonic nanostructures. The results demonstrate the successful immobilization and functionality of xanthene-based chemosensors as SERS chemosensors.

Summary: The field enhancement of Porous Si (PSi) was investigated through the enhancement of fluorescence intensity of a dye molecule. Nanocoral structure was observed on the surface of PSi after chemical processes and pulsed laser melting, showing large field enhancement with an enhancement factor (EF) of up to 545. The high field enhancement of Nanocoral Si was attributed to thermodynamic calculations and agreement between experimental and calculation results based on Mie scattering theory.

Summary: A substrate design for surface-enhanced Raman scattering was presented by decorating three-dimensional inverse photonic crystals with a small amount of Au nanoparticles. The enhancement factor of the Raman signal was found to strongly depend on the spectral position of the photonic stop band, reaching a maximum value of about 1-2 x 10^5 when it coincides with the laser wavelength, with a detection limit for methylene blue of around 10^(-7) M.

Summary: This study reports the enhancement of solar energy conversion efficiency in plasmon-induced water oxidation by intercalating Li+ into TiO2. The superior photoelectrocatalytic performance of Au/Li0.2TiO2 is mainly attributed to the increased electric conductivity and catalytic activity of Li0.2TiO2. The intercalation of alkaline ions into semiconductors can promote the charge separation efficiency of the plasmonic effect of Au/TiO2.

Summary: In this study, we for the first time observed and considered the plasmonic coupling between noble-metal and semiconductor nanostructures in metal/semiconductor heterostructures, using a W18O49/Ag heterostructure composed of Ag nanoparticles and W18O49 nanowires. The heterogeneous structure exhibited a broad and strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption in the visible wavelength range. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was used to investigate the interactions between metal SPR, semiconductor SPR, and the heterostructure's charge transfer process, revealing that the coupled SPR enhanced the heterostructure's internal charge transfer and SERS signals. A new coupled-plasmon-induced charge transfer mechanism was proposed to explain the improved charge transfer efficiency. This work provides insights for further studies on plasmonic effects and interfacial charge transfer in metal/semiconductor heterostructures.

Summary: The mass production of polymers has challenged traditional methods of forensic traces analysis, particularly in the field of impression reconstruction in firearms. This overview critically evaluates published techniques for the reconstruction of serial numbers in polymers, including both destructive methods and non-destructive methods. Wide-field imaging techniques, such as auto-fluorescence analysis, are suggested for faster and more accessible acquisition of data. The application of acquired knowledge to other forensic traces, like 3D printed objects, is also proposed.

Hybridization of target single-stranded DNA with immobilized capture HS-ssDNA induced conformational changes in the chains of alkanethiol and mercaptohexan-1-ol. Silver substrates showed greater potential for observing these hybridization-induced rearrangements compared to gold substrates.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
