Submicron patterns obtained by thermal-induced reconstruction of self-assembled monolayer of Ag nanoparticles and their application in SERS

- The layer-by-layer self-assembly technique was employed for the deposition of Ag nanoparticle films on glass substrates.
- A thermal-induced reconstruction of the polyelectrolyte-linked nanoparticle films was presented.
- The SERS property was highly improved after the reconstruction.
