Abstract:
We investigated ultrafast photoexcited electrons dynamics in relation to the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, using the transient reflecting grating spectroscopy method. We observed that only SERS-active samples had transfer of photoexcited electrons from a metal surface to adsorbed molecules within 200 fs followed by return of these charge transferred electrons to the metal within several picoseconds. By analyzing charge transfer (CT) processes, we were able to identify the main influential factors of the adsorption state, stay time at adsorbed molecules, and quantity of CT carriers. That these obtained factors had correlations to each other may lead to clarification of the CT processes within several picoseconds with regard to the SERS enhancement mechanism.
