Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering of graphite deposited on Al, Cu and
Fe surface has been observed. Ultrathin layers of graphite consisting
of only a few carbon monolayers were deposited using a chemical method
. Comparing the graphite Raman intensity from these ultrathin layers w
ith those obtained in thicker carbon samples on glass substrates depos
ited using the sputtering method, the enhancement intensity factor has
been determined. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
