Surface-enhanced Raman scattering on aluminum using near infrared and visible excitation

Abstract

We observed strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering on discontinuous nanostructured aluminum films using 785 nm excitation even though dielectric constants of this metal suggest plasmon supported spectroscopy in the ultraviolet range. The excitation of SERS correlates with plasmon resonances in the 1.3–2.5 eV range identified in electron energy loss spectra.
