Gold and silver vacuum-deposited island films were characterized by studying deposition variables such as film thickness, evaporation rate, and substrate temperature. For both metals, these parameters were correlated with the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) effect and an increase in film

β¦ Synopsis
It is shown that commercially available photographic paper for black and white prints can be used to generate attractive SERS-active silver surfaces, provided that a number of precautions are taken during the preparation process, e.g. illumination has to be done with light of low intensity, developing must be performed with a high concentration of sulphite and hardening with thiosulphate must be omitted. With oxazine 170 as test sample, the SERS signal intensity proved to be independent of exposure time by the probe laser and highly reproducible from sample to sample, even if the processed photographic paper was stored for some time. The prospects for applications of this SERS substrate for analytical purposes are therefore promising.
