“Background Doramapimod Graphene, the thinnest sp 2 allotrope of carbon arranged in a honeycomb lattice, has attracted many attentions because its unique and novel electrical and optical properties [1–3]. The wonderful and remarkable carrier transport
properties of suspended graphene compared with supported graphene have been studied [4–9]. The performances of dopants, the effects of defects however in graphene, and the phonon modes of suspended and supported graphenes vary but can be well understood using Raman spectroscopy [10–12]. Raman spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) have been extensively applied to understand the vibration properties of materials [13–18], and they are regarded as powerful techniques in characterizing the band structure and detail of phonon graphene interaction [19–24]. The ability of SERS, a wonderful and useful technique used to enhance weak Raman signals, has attracted considerable attention. In previous SERS measurements, however, the doping induced by metallic nanoparticles on graphene deposition may affect the electron scattering processes of graphene. Otherwise, the metallic nanoparticles on graphene are also used as an electrode in graphene-based electronic devices [25, 26]. Therefore, the effect of charged dopants and the substrate which affected graphene are both important selleck chemical issues to be investigated. In this work, the supported and suspended monolayer graphene samples were fabricated by micromechanical cleavage method.
