[Dr. Alexandre Brolo @agbrolo]

Sahar and @AzarakhshiArash presented their poster #ICAVS12 ,🇵🇱 today. Sahar discussed anomalous behavior for #SERS anti-Stokes while Arash demonstrated a procedure for substrate evaluation. A lot of interest for both projects and some excellent discussions and suggestions #Nano

Congratulations to Arash! @AzarakhshiArash for receiving a poster presentation prize in the #Physical and Theoretical #Chemistry division of the #CSC2023 conference in #Vancouver His work is a collaboration with @NRC_CNRC on #SERS metrology. Well done!!

[Dr. Alexandre Brolo @agbrolo]

Arash presented a poster about our collaboration with Dr. Li-Lin Tay @NRC_CNRC #YOW metrology group. The goal is to develop a scale to classify the quality of #SERS substrates. Very ambitious stuff, but we dream big @UVicScience @chemistryatuvic

Conference #NFO16 excursion to @butchartgardens Everyone seems to enjoy the beauty of one of the nicest garden in the world! #yyj

Arash @AzarakhshiArash got a lot of attention #nfo16 as he presented his #metrology approach to evaluate #SERS substrates. #NANO #nanotechnology #photonics #spectroscopy

We had #chocolate #CAKE in our group meeting to celebrate Sahar's #birthday Happy birthday, Sahar!!

[Dr. Alexandre Brolo @agbrolo]

I have a couple of projects in this program. So, #undergraduate students from 🇧🇷🇩🇪🇺🇲🇫🇷🇮🇳🇨🇱🇨🇴🇦🇺🇬🇧🇨🇳🇰🇷and others who are interested in #plasmonics #nanotechnology #nanofab #spectroscopy #Chemistry #electrochemistry #biosensors #photonics check it out and consider joining our team!

Farewell to @Chandan98288755 #globalink @MitacsCanada a PhD student who is returning to @iiserbhopal in India after a 3 months visit. He teamed up with @AzarakhshiArash and helped with our efforts to understand the single-molecule #SERS phenomenon. Good luck, Chandan!!

Here is the latest picture of the group. Everyone was enjoying an excuse to get out of the lab in a very nice sunny day in #yyj 🙂

@Kirsty_Gardner_ @agbrolo @NSERC_CRSNG 2) SERS signal highly depends on the hotspots enhancement, distribution and number even by having the accurate information about the fabrication and the topology we cannot predict the quality of the substrate due to dynamic nature of hotspots.

Evaluation of the SERS substrates, Ongoing research about the metrology of #SERS substrates in @agbrolo group at #uvic #Chemistry, with a long-term goal of establishing the standards to define a “good” #SERS_substrate . @NSERC_CRSNG #poster9 #PCAMM2021

[Arash Azarakhshi @AzarakhshiArash]

@Kirsty_Gardner_ @agbrolo @NSERC_CRSNG but 1) we aim to define the parameters and procedures to evaluate the substrate directly by the SERS signal without any information about the topology and the fabrication process,

@Kirsty_Gardner_ @agbrolo @NSERC_CRSNG Thanks for your question, SERS: Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering, Raman phenomenon reveals the information about vibrational states of the molecule, we used gold nanoparticle commercial substrates with the unknown fabrication process
