Finite-Size Effects in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering from Molecules Adsorbed on Noble-Metal Nanoparticles

Vitaliy N. Pustovit, Tigran V. Shahbazyan

We study the role of strong electron confinement in surface-enhanced Raman scattering from molecules adsorbed on small noble-metal particles. We describe a new source of Raman sign…
