Introduction Recently gold nano-clusters (AuNc) were used for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of their both organic compounds and inorganic materials. Fields of applications are rather wide: medicine, biology, semiconductors, sensors, research on the processes during optical recording and quality of flat displays [1- 4]. Addition of AuNC to dye layers increases light output from electroluminescent devices [5]. Different wet and gas phase deposition methods are used for AuNc production. They are reviewed in [6] together with one particular method: co-deposition of gold (Au) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) vapours in vacuum. The aim of this work is to investigate how the AuNc parameters influence SERS signal from dye ultra- thin film. 2. Experimental details Films were deposited using УВН-74 (USSR) installation with a Pfeiffer vacuum pressure meter, Sigma quartz thickness monitor, optical spectrometer StellarNet. Rotating glass discs with attached glass and silica slides were used as substrates. PTFE was evaporated with vapor activation by electron cloud. Heated with electric current molybdenium boat was used for Au and dye evaporation. Optical properties of the growing film were monitored by optical spectroscopy in situ. Details can be found elsewhere [6-8]. Au concentration in the film was from 5 to 20 vol. %, film thickness was varied from 50 to 100 nm. Heating the films was made in the home- made oven equipped with optical spectrometer Polytec for spectra recording in situ. Film morphology was studied by an atomic force microscope Nanoscope IIIa Dimension 3000™ at room temperature. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) films were deposited by evaporation in vacuum onto substrates covered with AuNc. The micro-Raman measurements were carried out in backscattering geometry at room temperature using Horiba Jobin Yvon T64000 system, equipped with an Olympus BX41 confocal optical microscope. The 488.0 nm line of a Spectra Physics Stability 2018-RM Ar+/Kr+ laser was used as an excitation source. The spatial resolution of the confocal arrangement was about 0.4 мm in the X, Y- plane. The maximum laser power on the sample did not exceed 1 mW. Raman peak positions were determined with an error less than 0.15 cm-1. 3. Experimental results and discussion As-deposited films contain AuNc in PTFE matrix with sizes dependent on their concentration [7, 8]. The size of the AuNc was increased from 7 to 50 nm by annealing Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2010. V. 13, N 2. P. 151-153. © 2010, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 152 Fig. 1. Morphology of the AuNc films heated up to the temperatures: 1 – 150 °C, 10 vol.% of AuNc; 2 – 150 °C, 15 vol.% of AuNc; 3 – 220 °C, 20 vol.% of AuNc; 4 – 220 °C, 25 vol.% of AuNc; 5 – 300 °C, 10 vol.% of AuNc; 6 – 300 °C, 15 vol.% of AuNc; 7 – 300 °C, 20 vol.% of AuNc; 8 – 300 °C, 25 vol.% of AuNc. Au vol.% is indicated for as-deposited films. Fig. 2. SERS of the R6G ultra-thin film onto Au nano- clustered surfaces: 1, 2, 3 represent spectra recorded using substrates with different AuNc morphology. within the temperature range from 50 to 300 єС. Optical absorption spectroscopy in situ following the heating process showed complex shift of the plasmon band maximum wavelength and its shape at various temperatures, in dependence on the AuNc concentration. Several AuNc samples were taken at critical optical points [9, 10] for AFM investigation. The surface morphology of the films heated to different temperatures is presented in Fig. 1. The higher were Au concentration and heating temperature, the larger final AuNc mean size. The temperature elevation increased the diffusion rate of Au atoms, PTFE matrix became more soft. The mean size of the AuNc was increased at the first stage of heating by surface diffusion from small clusters to larger ones. At higher temperature, AuNc growth continued, which led to increase of the distance between AuNc and suppressing the effects related with inter-cluster interactions [9, 10]. The SERS of ultra-thin film of R6G (thickness 10 nm) deposited onto glass substrate covered with AuNc are presented in Fig. 2. The obtained SERS spectra are in good agreement with the known spectra for R6G presented in the recent publications [11, 12]. Amplification of the Raman scattering signal is not linearly related with the Au concentration and heating temperature. The influence of these factors should be determined in details during the next experiments. Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2010. V. 13, N 2. P. 151-153. © 2010, V.
