Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) yields gigantic enhancement of inherently weak Raman signal by an intensive interaction of incident light with a noble metallic surface having nanometric roughness. In the past, the synthesis of gold nanoparticles through reduction process has been reported a...
