IV. NONELECTROMAGNETIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO SERS As successful as the em theory has been, there exists a number of observations that do not seem to be easily explicable in terms of it, which include, for example, the following. (1) The molecules CO and N2, whose Raman cross sections are almost identical, produce SERS spectra of rather different intensities (Moskovits and DiLella, 1982b).When coadsorbed in equal numbers onto cold-condensed silver films, CO produces a broad Raman peak shifted by some 28 cm- from that of unbonded CO, while N2 pro-duces a narrow Raman peak, shifted by only 2 cm-',whose intensity is about fifty times lower than that of CO. Suggestions that CO perhaps displaces N2 from the surface were countered with experiments in which N2 and CO were adsorbed independently with results similar to those in the coadsorption experiments. Likewise, postulating different surface bonding orientations for CO and N2, the former being "end-on" bonded, while the latter is sidewise bonded, cannot account for the full fiftyfold discrepancy. On the basis of the Raman depolarization ratios of the two molecules, at most a factor of 10 may be obtained for the ratio of the Raman intensities resulting from the adoption of the two orientations. Molecules such as methane and ethane produce SERS spectra some one-hundred-fold less intense than do ethylene or benzene, even though the ordinary Raman spectra of all of these molecules contain bands of equivalent strength. (2) In its simplest forms the em theory predicted that the SERS spectrum of a molecule should be a uniformly enhanced version of the ordinary Raman spectrum (McCall et al., 1980). Observations show this not to be true. This discrepancy is dramatically shown in the SERS spectrum of C6F6 (Fig. 24), which shows the C-F symmetric "breathing" vibration to be the dominant feature, while the same vibration is among the weakest in the ordinary Raman spectrum of the same molecule. Moreover, the SERS spectrum of many molecules (Erdheim et al., 1980; Dornhaus et al., 1980; Moskovits and DiLella, 1980,1982a,1982b) displays normally forbid-den features, often with intensities comparable to the most intense of the allowed transitions. (3)In SERS studies involving roughened electrodes immersed in aqueous electrolytes or aqueous metal colloids one does not observe a strong SERS spectrum of water, which presumably surrounds the SERS-active features in abundance. (4) It has also been observed that the SERS excitation spectrum obtained from aqueous colloidal silver does not correspond well with the absorption spectrum of the same colloid (Creighton et al., 1979; Mabuchi et al., 1982; Sii-man et al., 1983). The latter usually consists of a strong peak at about 390 nm with weaker features to the red of this. The 390-nm peak is associated with spherical colloidal particles, while the red peak or peaks are commonly believed to come about from aggregated colloid whose optical properties were discussed either in terms of ellipsoidal particles or by considering coupling between two or among several spheres. Although it is clear from the work of Aravind et al. (1981) that dipolar coupling is in-sufficient to account for the electrostatic fields about spheres spaced so closely together, dipolar coupling, often couched in the language of effective medium theories such as the Maxwell-Garnett theory does produce a red-shift plasmon peak whose exact position depends on the density of (hence average distance between) the colloidal spheres. 请翻译这段英文

非电磁贡献对表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)的影响是一个复杂且多层次的问题。尽管电磁理论在解释SERS现象方面取得了显著成功,但仍存在一些观察结果无法通过电磁理论轻松解释。这些现象包括分子CO和N2的SERS光谱强度差异、某些分子的SERS光谱与普通拉曼光谱的显著差异、水分子在SERS实验中的表现以及银胶体溶液的SERS激发光谱与吸收光谱的不一致性。这些观察结果表明,除了电磁增强机制外,可能还存在其他非电磁机制对SERS的增强效应有重要贡献。
🔍 分子CO和N2的SERS光谱强度差异
- 分子CO和N2的SERS光谱强度差异:分子CO和N2的拉曼散射截面几乎相同,但它们的SERS光谱强度却显著不同。当CO和N2在冷凝银膜上共吸附时,CO产生一个宽的拉曼峰,而N2产生一个窄的拉曼峰,其强度约为CO的五十分之一。尽管有假设认为CO可能从表面取代N2,但独立吸附实验结果与共吸附实验相似。此外,即使考虑CO和N2的不同表面键合取向(CO为“端对端”键合,N2为侧向键合),最多也只能解释拉曼强度差异的十分之一。12
🔬 SERS光谱与普通拉曼光谱的显著差异
- SERS光谱与普通拉曼光谱的显著差异:最简单的电磁理论预测,分子的SERS光谱应是其普通拉曼光谱的均匀增强版本。然而,观察结果并非如此。例如,C6F6的SERS光谱显示C-F对称“呼吸”振动是其主要特征,而在普通拉曼光谱中,该振动是最弱的。此外,许多分子的SERS光谱显示通常被禁止的特征,其强度可与允许跃迁中最强的相当。34
🌊 水分子在SERS实验中的表现
- 水分子在SERS实验中的表现:在涉及浸入水溶液电解质或金属胶体的粗糙电极的SERS研究中,通常不会观察到水的强SERS光谱,尽管水分子可能大量包围SERS活性特征。这表明水分子在SERS增强过程中可能没有显著贡献,或者存在其他非电磁机制抑制了水的SERS信号。5
🌟 银胶体溶液的SERS激发光谱与吸收光谱的不一致性
- 银胶体溶液的SERS激发光谱与吸收光谱的不一致性:从水溶性银胶体获得的SERS激发光谱与相同胶体的吸收光谱不一致。吸收光谱通常在约390 nm处有一个强峰,而SERS激发光谱则显示出不同的特征。这表明胶体颗粒的聚集状态和光学性质可能对SERS增强有重要影响,而不仅仅是电磁增强机制所能解释的。13
🛠️ 解决方案与操作步骤
- 解决方案与操作步骤:为了更好地理解非电磁贡献对SERS的影响,研究者可以采用以下步骤:
通过这些步骤,研究者可以更全面地理解SERS现象,揭示非电磁增强机制的本质,并为未来的SERS应用提供理论基础和实验指导。
