The present approach to SERS does not rely on a hihj electrical conductivity substrate or admixture to enable the SERS process. The novelty of our method is to create an artificial periodic electron distribution on a surface by illumination with ultraviolet radiation whose photon energy is above the photoelectric work function of the material.
