Abstract
Mounting experimental observation of SERS has led to considerable theoretical efforts towards the understanding of various aspects of this phenomenon. The existing theories should be tested by their ability to explain the following important properties of SERS: (1) The Raman intensity of adsorbed molecules is enhanced by a factor of 105–106 compared to that of free molecules, (2) The degree of the enhancement depends on the excitation energy and also on the properties of the substrate metal, (3) The enhanced Raman scattering spectra are accompanied by a broad continuum spectrum, (4) The roughness of a metal surface plays a crucial role.
