Abstract :
The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from ZnO nanorod arrays (ZnONRs) was investigated. It was found that the realization of the efficient photoinduced charge transfer between the ZnONRs and the attached probe molecules is a critical prerequisite for the SERS. The SERS of the dye (Bu4N)2[Ru(dcbpyH)2-(NCS)2] with 10-7 M concentration can be observed from the ZnO nanostructures.
