Abstract: A SERS-active silver film was obtained by chemical reduction method on optic polished quartz slides. Studies of the scanning electron microscopy on the silver film indicated that the Ag particles were uniform and the size distribution ranged from 50 nm to 140 nm which suited for SERS measurement. SERS spectra of the malachite green with an enhancement factor 2. 3 ×10-5were measured. The limit of detection was found to be 10-10mol/L. The adsorption geometry was deduced by comparing the SERSspectra with the raman spectra on the solid malachite green or malachite green aqueous solution. There was a phase transition of the silver film from "being flat" to "being perpendicular" when the bulk concentration of the malachite green changed from 1. 0×10-7mol/Lto.1. 0× 10-6mol/L.
