Study of surface-enhanced Raman scattering of InAs particles of subwavelength apertures at terahertz frequencies

Abstract

We present a theoretical mechanism for electric field enhancement with SERS of InAs particles of subwavelength apertures under THz excitation. The distribution of electric field confirms that there is a strong enhancement in the InAs particles at THz frequencies. The InAs with a Drude-like behavior in THz range, which is similar to metals at optical frequencies, leads to different SERS when the parameters of these two particles change. The SERS enhancement factor can reach [Formula: see text] under the certain conditions.
