Measurement of the Distribution of Site Enhancements in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering
Abstract
On nanotextured noble-metal surfaces, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is observed, where Raman scattering is enhanced by a factor, Ḡ , that is frequently about one million, but underlying the factor Ḡ is a broad distribution of local enhancement factors, η. We have measured this distribution for benzenethiolate molecules on a 330-nanometer silver-coated nanosphere lattice using incident light of wavelength 532 nanometers. A series of laser pulses with increasing electric fields burned away molecules at sites with progressively decreasing electromagnetic enhancement factors. The enhancement distribution P (η) d η was found to be a power law proportional to (η) –1.75 , with minimum and maximum values of 2.8 × 10 4 and 4.1 × 10 10 , respectively. The hottest sites (η >10 9 ) account for just 63 in 1,000,000 of the total but contribute 24% to the overall SERS intensity.

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.
