A method for producing metal nanoparticles that when associated with an analyte material will generate an amplified SERS spectrum when the analyte material is illuminated by a light source and a spectrum is recorded. The method for preparing the metal nanoparticles comprises the step...
1) Grow the nanotubes on a separate substrate, then stamp them onto the circuit. This lets the circuit stay at low temperatures. By contrast, nanotubes are single, precise molecules being assembled to build up useful larger systems. This is a lot closer to the original meaning of the word.
