Abstract
It is now well established that surface roughness on a sub-microscopic scale plays an Important role in the enhancement of the Raman scattering (RS) by molecules adsorbed on metals.1–4 Moreover, recent work indicates that the optical absorption and luminescence by molecules adsorbed at a rough metal surface can also be enhanced.5–8
