title: A new surface-enhanced Raman scattering system for carbon nanotubes.
abstract: A new surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) system of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is reported for the first time. According to the remarkable mechanical property, CNTs were grinded on a sheet of silver directly. Thus rough silver surface was obtained, at the same time, the CNTs attached to the rough silver surface. High quality SERS spectra were obtained from CNTs attached to the rough silver surface. Because there were no solvents affecting the SERS of CNTs, the dependability of the result is improved. The theory and experiment results indicate that this is an accurate and practicable method for SERS study of CNTs.
