The authors report that near-infrared light induces an irreversible accumulated Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) behavior of a molecule/metal–semiconductor hybrid system. They investigate the underlying mechanism and show that it is attributed to crystallinity, charge transfer and reorientation.
