Mildly reduced graphene oxide-Ag nanoparticle hybrid films for surface-enhanced Raman scattering by Li, Xiaocheng, Tay, Beng Kang, Li, Junshuai, Tan, Dunlin, Tan, Chong Wei, Liang, Kun

“…The Ag NPs with narrow gap provided numerous hot spots, which are closely related with electromagnetic mechanism (EM), and were believed to remarkably enhance the Raman signal of the molecules. Due to the co-contribution of the CM and EM effects as well as the coordination mechanism between the MR-GO and Ag NPs, the MR-GO-Ag NP hybrid films showed more excellent Raman signal enhancement performance than that of either Ag films or MR-GO monolayer alone. …”

Raman spectra and defect chemical characteristics of Sr(Ti,Fe)O3−y solid solution of bulk pellets vs. thin films by Sediva, Eva, Rupp, Jennifer L. M.

“…We synthesize a standard range of compositions containing 1–75 mol% of iron including the end members in the form of macrocrystalline bulk pellets, nanocrystalline poly- and single crystalline thin films. Through the change in both iron substitution level and microstructure, we directly see the effect of defect chemistry such as its phase, transition metal ion valence and oxygen nonstoichiometry on the Raman spectra. …”
