摘要
A distance dependence study of the surface enhanced Raman effect has been performed using alkanethiol CH3(CH2)(n)SH self-assembled monolayers on top of rough silver surfaces. We found a decrease of the enhancement signal of the CH3 heads by a factor of 2, increasing the CH3-surface distance from 0.8 to 2.5 nm (n = 5-17) and a distance function compatible with the known Gersten and Nitzan theory on the electromagnetic enhancement. Parameters obtained by an experimental data fit agree with previous observations on silver surface morphology.
