Abstract
Two by two, hurrah! Hurrah! Dimers of Ag nanospheres with a range of sizes were generated by etching Ag nanocubes with Fe(NO3)3 in ethanol in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). These well‐defined dimers (see TEM image) enable systematic study of the hot‐spot phenomenon in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).Keywords
