Among electromagnetic and chemical (CM) contributions to surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SEAS), the former is becoming controllable according to the recent progress in nanofabrication of plasmonic metal structures. However, it is still difficult to control the latter effect. Here, the degree of each contribution to SERS signals is examined on well-defined single crystalline facets of gold by using optical field localization within sphere-plane type plasmonic cavities. Crystal face dependent SERS studies of aminobenzenthiol adsorbates clearly show the distinction between CM enhancements on different surfaces, suggesting that the CM-activity of SERS-hotspots is closely related to interfacial dipoles formed at metal - molecular junctions.
