Abstract
Provided are patterned nanoporous gold ('P-NPG') films that may act as at least one of an effective and stable surface-enhanced Raman scattering ('SERS') substrate. Methods of fabricating the P-NPG films using a low-cost stamping technique are also provided. The P-NPG films may provide uniform SERS signal intensity and SERS signal intensity enhancement by a factor of at least about 1×10relative to the SERS signal intensity from a non-enhancing surface.
