| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The field strength in surface enhanced Raman scattering between plasmonic nanoparticles strongly depends on distances between the nanoparticles. Precise control over dispersion-aggregation of particles in a suspension is required to apply the intrinsic surface properties of particles to functional devices. Since unstable particles in a suspension generally aggregate to form large aggregates, it is very difficult to handle aggregates composed of a small number of particles. In the present work where hollow type colloidal crystals incorporating movable cores were fabricated, direct observations of the movable core with an optical microscope experimentally proved that the distance between particles incorporated in the colloidal crystal could be reversibly controlled by application of external field such as AC electric field.
