Reliable Methodology for Measuring SERS Enhancement Factor on Colloidal and Solid Substrates: A Practical Guide A recent literature survey shows that the SERS community is still far from a consensus on how to correctly estimate the Enhancement Factor (EF) of plasmonic substrates. With this article, a simple pr....

Paper alert 🎉

I remember checking for ways to calculate the Enhancement Factor in SERS and all the differences in methodology you can find. I hope this tutorial can help! 👍
