Lecture title: Effective Gold substrates for SERS: a material scientist point of view.
Lecture abstract: SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) constitutes nowadays one of the most explored scientific subject, due to its potential application as a high sensitive technique, and with close connection to developments in the field of nanotechnology. In the present work, some of the results on several SERS active gold substrates (obtained in the Raman Lab at NIS Centre in Torino) will be reviewed, giving also some insights on problems occurring when very diluted species are investigated.
