Abstract

Raman spectroscopy is a complete and comprehensive analytical tool that can be used to make a bridge between industrial interests and the 'Terabithia' world. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), a subset of Raman spectroscopy, exhibits greater potential over other complementary techniques. Further, tip-enhanced Raman scattering and plasmon excitations ranging from the visible to the near-infrared region using nanostructured materials have unprecedented scope in different sectors related to SERS. In this review, an attempt has been made to trace the progress of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and its potential in different multidisciplinary studies. Starting from key terminologies in brief, several applications are pointed.
