SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the need for references regarding the Raman shifts of metals, specifically gold and titanium tungsten (TiW), in the context of surface-enhanced spectroscopy (SERS). Nicolas, a PhD student, seeks confirmation of his spectral results for black silicon with gold clusters and the use of TiW for attachment. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate references in validating experimental findings in SERS research.
