Abstract
The observation of SERS by molecules adsorbed at the surface of colloidal particles has led to analysis of classical electromagnetic field effects which contribute to enhancement of the Raman signals. Such effects alone can give rise to large enhancements which are sensitive to particle size, shape and optical constants. The theory is formulated in such a way that specific changes in Raman polarizability which occur upon adsorption can be incorporated, when these are known.
