Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

This paper presents a systematic study of Raman spectra of nanocomposite photonic crystals produced using opal matrices or anodic aluminum oxide and filled with various inorganic compounds. We compare Raman spectra of the starting inorganic compounds (K2Cr2O7, CrO3, and KIO3) and nanocomposite photonic crystals whose pores are filled with the inorganic substances. Our results open up the possibility of producing high-performance sensors of inorganic substances introduced into the pores of photonic crystals, based on analysis of enhanced Raman scattering in a nanocomposite photonic crystal.
