Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering

Abstract

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) allows the characterisation of a variety of organic and inorganic adsorbates on several metal electrodes. Hitherto, most investigations have been performed in order to obtain insights into the enhancement mechanisms as the basis for future spectroscopic employments. Since the detection of SERS by Fleischmann and coworkers1–2 and Van Duyne et al.,3–4 SERS effects have been observed only for specifically prepared metal surfaces.5–10 Intense SERS can be generated, for instance, at Ag, Cu, and Au substrates (in situ and under UHV conditions) by roughening or use of particular surface geometries such as small spheres, ellipsoids, islands, gratings, or thin films on hemicylinders.11–20 In addition, experimental evidence has been given for the relevance of chemisorption on SERS. In particular, there is a growing amount of data which point to the importance of adatom-adsorbate structures for the enhancement. 21–29
