Abstract
This research develops techniques for studying the lithographic development of silver nanoparticles on a periodically poled ferroelectric template. These include an algorithm for tracking POIs on the surface of the substrate following a change in the substrate's position and orientation, and a verified procedure for removing residual silver nanoparicles from the surface of the substrate. This will allow future research to better control nanoparticle development, particularly the shape and size of the nanoparticles, an essential step in facilitating a technique called surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which has applications in detecting single macromolecules.
