    Herein, the substrate comprising carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles (CNTs/Ag1) was first prepared using the one-step method, and then CNTs/Ag1 was decorated by the additional Ag nanoparticle sol (Ag2) to constitute the final composite structural substrate (CNTs/Ag1/Ag2). The corresponding electric field distributions and the enhancement factors were calculated using the three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3D-FDTD) algorithm. Experimental results of Raman test show that the detection limit is 10 -15 mol/L for rhodamine 6G (R6G). Quantitative detection of R6G with a low-concentration of 10 -15-10 -10 mol/L is realized using the normalized ratio k. The relative standard deviation (RSD) value of k is as low as half of the RSD of Raman intensity. Moreover, quantitative detection of crystal violet (CV) solution with a concentration of 10 -9-10 -6 mol/L is achieved. The linearity-fitting degrees of all k values of two probe molecules are larger than 99% at different concentrations.
