Abstract

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiency of silver nanoparticles formed by laser irradiation or thermal annealing in sputtered silver oxide layers was examined. Silver nanoparticles formed by irradiation of He-Ne laser light (632.8 nm) to a sputtered silver oxide thin film thermally annealed at 300°C show good SERS, while silver nanoparticles formed by thermal annealing at 600°C scarcely show SERS. From these results, it is deduced that thermal annealing at a proper temperature results in formation of silver nuclei that can be precursors of silver nanoparticles with desirable sizes to induce the SERS, while thermal annealing at a higher temperature results in the formation of large silver particles that no longer cause the SERS.
