Electromagnetic theory of enhanced Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on rough surfaces

Gersten, Joel, Nitzan, Abraham·1980·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

A theory for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is developed. Effects due to realistic surface geometry and dielectric properties are included. Three sources of enhanced Raman scattering are noted: the image dipole enhancement effect, the increase of local field (’’lightning rod’’ effect), and the resonant excitation of surface plasmons. The surface is modeled as a hemispheroid protruding from a conducting plane, although other models are considered. The spherical limit is discussed in some detail and molecular orientation effects are considered. Cross sections for Mie, Rayleigh, and Raman scattering are derived.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
