Experimental and theoretical evidence for the chemical mechanism in SERRS of rhodamine 6G adsorbed on colloidal silver excited at 1064 nm
The evidence for the existence of a chemical mechanism in surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) of rhodamine 6G (R6G) adsorbed on colloidal silver excited at 1064 nm is reported on the basis of experimental and theoretical analyses. A weak absorption peak at around 1060 nm for R6G-functionalized silver nanoparticles was observed, which is not present in the individual spectra of R6G
