Silver colloids are one of the extensively employed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrates. To obtain the SERS effect, their aggregation upon addition of analyte is necessary. However, problems of instability and irreproducibility in the magnitude of the signal are caused by the formation of aggregates. Considering that the aggregation of silver colloids is essential to induce small silver clusters, in the present study, we develop a drying process to prepare silver particle films (silver clusters) that are supported directly on a glass slide. These silver particle films arise through the aggregation of silver colloids occurring in thin water films supported on a solid substrate. With the evaporation of water, silver clusters are left on the solid substrate. Thus, the assembly meets perfectly the requirement of aggregation of silver colloids and, at the same time, possesses the stability of solidlike SERS-active substrates. We can easily obtain excellent SERS spectra from these silver ...
