Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an ultrasensitive spectroscopic technique that can identify materials and chemicals based on their inelastic light-scattering properties. In general, SERS relies on sub-10 nm nanogaps to amplify the Raman signals and achieve ultralow-concentration identification of analytes. However, large-sized analytes, such as proteins and viruses, usually cannot enter these tiny nanogaps, limiting the practical applications of SERS. Herein, we demonstrate a universal SERS platform for the reliable and sensitive identification of a wide range of analytes. The key to this success is the prepared "slot-under-groove" nanoarchitecture arrays, which could realize a strongly coupled field enhancement with a large spatial mode distribution via the hybridization of gap-surface plasmons in the upper V-groove and localized surface plasmon resonance in the lower slot. Therefore, our slot-under-groove platform can simultaneously deliver high sensitivity for small-sized analytes and the identification of large-sized analytes with a large Raman gain.
