The period covered by this document is from the beginning of 1995 through late 1997. The
most recent comprehensive review of this topic appeared in 1994 (1) and covered late 1991 …

The review concerns the state of the art, the advances in and prospects for application of
surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in chemical analysis. Key advantages …

An electrochemically roughened silver surface, in conjunction with a Raman microprobe
spectrometer, was used to obtain SER spectra of a suite of 19 l-amino acids. The spectra …

Trace concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been successfully
detected using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. For such …

The sensitive detection and characterization of carbohydrates by means of a strategy based
on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is demonstrated. Spectra are obtained after …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous atmospheric pollutants and food
contaminants, which exhibit potent carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity …

In order to further improve the sensitivity of chemical IR sensors, research into a significant
change in the signal generation mechanism was carried out. This effort was realized by …

The review deals the use of Raman spectroscopy for analysis of various objects of
petroleum chemistry: crude oils, petroleum products, oil-bearing rocks, petrochemical …

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of a series of sulfur oxoanions on a dry
electrochemically roughened silver surface are reported. Spectra were recorded on an FT …

A novel concept of advanced SERS (surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy) planar
sensors is suggested for fast analysis of sulfur-containing hazardous oil components and …
