The paper studied fabrication and properties of large-area magnetic-plasmonic Ni@Au core–shell nanoparticle arrays created by direct laser interference ablation combined with thermal dewetting, with tunable Ni/Au composition. Magnetic characterization showed that Ni80@Au20 nanoparticles had higher saturation magnetization than nickel-only nanoparticles of the same diameter, and SERS testing using rhodamine 6G found an enhancement factor of 2.5×106 for Ni50@Au50 arrays, which was reported as 9-fold higher than Au nanoparticles with the same size distribution. The authors attributed the SERS performance to enhanced local surface plasmon resonance interactions between ferromagnetic Ni cores and polariton modes of Au shells. This paper is a preprint and not peer-reviewed, and it does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

In this paper, large-area magnetic-plasmonic Ni@Au core–shell nanoparticle arrays (NPAs) with tunable compositions were successfully fabricated by direct laser interference ablation (DLIA) incorporated with thermal dewetting method. The magnetic properties of the Ni@Au core–shell NPAs were analyzed and the saturation magnetization (M s ) of the Ni 80 @Au 20 nanoparticles was found higher than that of nickel-only nanoparticles with the same diameter. The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) property of the Ni@Au core–shell NPAs was then examined using the Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a Raman reporter molecule and a SERS enhancement factor of 2.5×10 6 was achieved on the Ni 50 @Au 50 NPA substrate, which was of 9 times higher than that for Au nanoparticles with the same size distribution. It was due to the enhanced local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) between the ferromagnetic Ni cores and the surface polariton of Au shells of each nanoparticle. The fabrication of the Ni@Au core–shell NPAs with different compositions offers a new avenue to tailor the optical and magnetic properties of the nanostructured films for chemical and diagnostic applications.
