Abstract

Three different types of ion reduction processes were utilized to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Normal ion reduction, electrodeposition, and magneto-electro deposition. For the creation of exclusive morphologies of plasmonic silver nanoparticles above the bare macro porous silicon layer, an experimental approach to the magneto-electro deposition process was realized by adjusting the Lorentz force of drifted electrons in a solution of AgNO3. This process is precise control, inexpensive, and simple. Experimental results show an accurate control of the characteristics of AgNPs was realized by applying a magnetic field. The size distributions, density, sizes of the hotspot region, specific surface area, and deposition rate of plasmonic silver nanoparticles were extremely modified by the magnitude of magnetic field strength. Efficient detection of trace value (6.4 × 10−15 mol/L) of the limit of detection has been achieved by using the magneto-electro deposition process.
