Raman spectroscopy is normally a non-destructive, highly selective technique that has become an ubiquitous tool for analytical chemists. One of the primary limitations of Raman spectroscopy, however, is the relatively low cross-section of the technique. With signal enhancements relative to normal Raman scattering as high as 1011, the ultra-trace detection of adsorbates down to the single molecule level has been achieved with SERS. Despite the dramatic improvement in the sensitivity and the high selectivity afforded by the SERS method, the acceptance of SERS as a general analytical tool has been hindered by a lack of stability and reproducibility in the …
