ABSTRACT The article focuses on new operation mode for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) by using ultrathin-silica-shelled gold nanoparticles. It is stated that the use of a chemically inert shell coating around the SERS-active nanostructure keeps the gold nanoparticles from agglomerating. It also allows allows the nanoparticles to conform to different contours of samples.
