Abstract

Intermolecular van der Waals forces make SAMs a rugged and highly ordered structure. The surface properties of SAMs can be easily modified by changing the terminal groups of thiolate molecules. Adsorption of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the surfaces of SAMs creates SERS hot spots between the nanoparticles and the gold surfaces.
