Ultrahigh Enhancement Factor by Using a Silver Nanoshell With a Gain Core Above a Silver Substrate for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering at the Single-Molecule Level

Single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been extensively studied over the past decade. In this paper, we propose a novel method to obtain ultrahigh enhancement of local electric fields by using a silver nanoshell with a gain core above a silver substrate. Numerical results show...
