Based on certain articles, SERS enhancement factor can be classified into single molecule enhancement factor (SMEF), SERS substrate enhancement factor (SSEF) and analytical enhancement factor (AEP). May I know which analysis is applicable in this analysis?
Dear Mr. F. S. Lim,
I had prepared some SERS substrates with growth of AuAg bimetallic nanostructures on reconstructed Si(hkl) substrates. Such substrates have been successfully employed for detecting Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecule at the concentration of 10-7 M. Indeed, SERS substrates have been prepared by dropping R6G solution on AuAg/Si(hkl) template and drying naturally. In that report, efficacy of the SERS template has been understood in the light of analytical enhancement factor (AEF).

As your specimens are seemed quite similar to me, I think you can carry on analysis for AEF to investigate various interesting properties of your specimens.
With best regards,
Anjan
