Techniques and Applications of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Spectroscopy (SERSS) Focused on Cultural Heritage

Abstract

The review is devoted to a modern method of vibrational spectroscopy - surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Its principle and some of its special variants (imunno SERS and TERS /Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy/) are described in a simplified manner.

Wide application possibilities are demonstrated on selected examples from its application in cultural heritage.
