This proposal presents a unique opportunity for a multi-lateral inter-American collaboration on the fabrication, characterization and application of novel plasmonic materials for enhanced spectroscopy. The field of plasmonics is related to the manipulation of surface plasmons (SPs) waves by nanostructured metals. SPs waves and localized surface plasmons have been recognized as the main contribution to surface-enhanced spectroscopic methods, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEFS). In analytical chemistry, surface-enhanced spectroscopic methods provide an alternative for label-free detection of minute amounts of adsorbed species. The surface-enhanced methods are then a promising alternative for the detection of biological materials, as required for disease diagnostic and screening. In this proposal, we will team up with excellent groups from South America that can provide complementary expertise to the project that will be developed in Canada. This project will lead to a high degree of exchange of senior scientists and students between the participant countries. These exchanges will expose researchers to different scientific cultures and, more importantly, will allow direct transfer of know-how and expertise among the participants.

这项提议为美洲之间在制造、表征和应用用于增强光谱的新型等离子体材料方面的多边合作提供了一个独特的机会。等离子体激元领域与纳米结构金属对表面等离子体波的操纵有关。SPS波和局域表面等离子体是表面增强光谱方法的主要贡献，如表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)和表面增强荧光(SEFS)。在分析化学中，表面增强光谱方法为微量吸附物种的无标记检测提供了一种替代方法。因此，表面增强方法是检测生物材料的一种有前途的替代方法，如疾病诊断和筛查所需。在这项提案中，我们将与来自南美的优秀团队合作，这些团队可以为将在加拿大开发的项目提供补充专业知识。该项目将促进参与国之间高级科学家和学生的高度交流。这些交流将使研究人员接触到不同的科学文化，更重要的是，将允许参与者之间直接转让技术和专业知识。
