The main task in this paper is to monitor the alteration of the relevant vibrational mode intensities of the pure and B-doped samples. In experimental approach, by utilizing a simple method we synthesized CNT doped with B2O3 using laser ablation in liquid environment technique. The silver nanoparticles were made by the Lee–Meisel method, and then the spontaneous and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of pure and B-doped carbon nanotubes were collected. In simulation approach, using the Gauss View and Gaussian software [basis set 6-31G, computational method DFT (B3LYP)], the spontaneous and SERS spectroscopy of pure and B-doped carbon nanotubes was calculated. Due to the presence of silver nanoparticles in the vicinity of carbon nanotube and boron element, SERS intensity to spontaneous Raman (NR) intensity ratio ISERS/INRdocumentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$$left( { aise0.7exhbox{${I_{ ext{SERS } }$} !mathord{left/ {vphantom {I_{ ext{SERS } } {I_{ ext{NR } } ight.kern-0pt} !lower0.7exhbox{${I_{ ext{NR } }$ } ight)$$end{document} increases in the D, G and boron oxide modes of up to 12-fold were observed.
