Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect deals with the enhancement of the Raman scattering intensity by molecules in the presence of a nanostructured metallic surface. The first observation of surface-enhanced Raman spectra was in 1974, when Fleischmann and his group at the University of Southampton, reported the first high-quality Raman spectra of monolayer-adsorbed pyridine on an electrochemically roughened Ag electrode surface. Over the last thirty years, it has developed into a versatile spectroscopic and analytical technique due to the rapid and explosive progress of nanoscience and nanotechnology. This review article describes the recent development in field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering research, especially fabrication of various SERS active substrates, mechanism of SERS effect and its various applications in both surface sciences and analytical sciences.

The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of SCN$^{-}$ was investigated in silver sol. The addition of pyridine significantly increased SERS by as large as 70. The role of pyridine was interpreted based on the model of plasma resonance-enhanced Raman scattering.

Micrometer-sized copper (mCu) powders are weakly surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active by the excitation at 632.8 nm, but nearly ineffective as a SERS substrate at 514.5 nm excitation. The SERS activity of mCu powders at both excitation wavelengths can be increased dramatically by a simple method of the galvanic exchange reaction with AgNO3 in aqueous medium. In this work, the SERS activity of the Ag-exchanged Cu powders (mCu@Ag) has been evaluated by taking a series of Raman spectra using benzenethiol (BT) as the probe molecule. It is clearly confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry that the SERS activity of mCu@Ag powders is, in fact, highly dependent on the extent of galvanic reaction.

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) of methoxybenzonitrile in a silver sol was investigated. All of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted benzonitriles were found to adsorb on the silver surface via the nitrogen lone pair electrons. The benzene ring of meta derivative seemed likely to stand perpendicular to the silver surface, while the benzene rings of both otho and para derivatives assumed tilted stances with respect to the surface. The SERS technique appeared to be a useful means to study the substituent electronic effects.

In this study, the experiments for surface enhancement of silver mirror substrates were done, where we checked the characteristics of silver surface made by Tollen's method. The surface enhancement of Methyl orange was analyzed by silver surfaces. We observed the Surface Enhanced Raman Spectra of Methyl orange. The assignments of the vibrational bands shown in SERS spectra are given based on both literature and the semi-empirical calculations at the PM3 methods. We deduced that the adsorption orientation of Methyl orange was little tilted parallel to the silver surfaces by using of the surface selection rules.

This paper reports a methodology for preparing close-packed two dimensional gold nanoprism films and hexagonal nanoplate films at a hexane/water interface. By controlling the concentration of linker molecules in the hexane layer and the temperature of the colloid solution, highly ordered close-packed nanoplate arrays can be fabricated. These films were investigated to compare their corresponding surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiencies. It was demonstrated that the Au nanoprism films resulted in a stronger SERS enhancement than the Au hexagonal nanoplate films. The difference in the SERS enhancement is attributed to the film array difference, demonstrating that Au nanoprism films have a higher line contact density than their Au hexagonal analogues.
