Nanostructure design for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy – prospects and limits [PDF]
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) allows single-molecule detection due to the strong field localization occurring at sharp bends or kinks of the metal-vacuum interface. An important question concerns the limits of the signal enhancement that can

Bioanalytical applications of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy: de novo molecular identification
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has become a powerful technique for trace analysis of biomolecules. The use of SERS-tags has evolved into clinical diagnostics; the enhancement of the intrinsic signal of biomolecules on SERS active materials ...

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS): From Fundamental Mechanism to Bio-Analytics Tools
This review discusses the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with efficiencies enhanced by as much as 1014-1015 fold as well as a SERS cross section on the order of 10-17-10-16 cm2/molecule.

One-step preparation and characterization of core-shell SiO2/Ag composite spheres by pulse plating
A simple method of one-step pulse plating was used in the fabrication of core-shell SiO2/Ag composite spheres. Structural characteristics and morphologies of the prepared SiO2/Ag composite spheres are characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning
