SERS study of single-walled carbon nanotubes on silver films deposited on different substrates

• Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on silver films deposited on various substrates, including sapphire, quartz and glass, has been studied systematically. The characteristic features of G-band and D-band have been analyzed and compared with arc discharged and laser ablation samples. D-band is much more sensitive than G-band. The position and the intensity of the G-band in SERS spectra depend on substrates. The peak shift and absolute intensity of G-band on sapphire is obviously larger than that on glass. The contribution of high frequency vibrations to the D-band is also deendent on substrates. Compared to the SWNTs samples with a high semiconducting tube concentration, the sample with high metallic tube concentration has a stronger interaction with silver films.
