Abstract

Colloidal crystals (CC) are self-assembled metamaterials with a periodic refractive index fabricated from colloidal SiO2 or polystyrene spheres. Lately, different structured porous films template by CCs are being used as substrates in Surface- Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Taking into account that, due to the localized surface plasmon resonance phenomenon, SERS substrates should satisfice conditions of nanoscale structure (porosity), periodicity and chemical stability, in this work, we use a thin film (50 nm) of gold sublimated on a 250 nm SiO2 based CC in order to detect changes of cellular biochemistry of stem cells by SERS.
