Abstract
We present an introduction to surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) which reviews the basic experimental facts and the essential features of the mechanisms which have been proposed to account for the observations. We then review very recent fundamental developments which include: SERS from single particles and single molecules; SERS from fractal clusters and surfaces; and new insights into the chemical enhancement mechanism of SERS.Keywords
