An enhancement factor of the SERS signal in the presence of Gd 3+ ions was ∼5 times higher than that produced by L-tyrosine adsorbed on gold nanoparticles. The enhancement of the SERS signal can be attributed to a corresponding increase in the local electric field due to the presence of Gd 3+ ions in the vicinity of a gold dimer configuration. This scenario was confirmed by solving numerically Maxwell equations, showing an increase of 1 order of magnitude in the local electric scattered field when the Gd 3+ ion is located in between a gold dimer compared with naked gold nanoparticles.

An enhancement factor of SERS signal in the presence of Gd3+ ions was ~5 times higher than that produced by L tyrosine adsorbed on gold nanoparticles. The enhancement of the SERS signal can be attributed to a corresponding increase in the local electric field due to the presence of Gd3+ ions in the vicinity of a gold dimer configuration. This scenario was confirmed by solving numerically Maxwell equations, showing an increase of one order of magnitude in the local electric scattered field when the Gd3+ ion is located in between a gold dimer compared with naked gold nanoparticles.
