To obtain a recyclable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) material, we developed a composite of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/SiO{sub 2}/Ag with core/shell/particles structure. The designed particles were synthesized via an ultrasonic route. The Raman scattering signal of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} could be shielded by increasing the thickness of the SiO{sub 2} layer to 60 nm. Dye rhodamine B (RB) was chosen as probe molecule to test the SERS effect of the synthesized Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/SiO{sub 2}/Ag particles. On the synthesized Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/SiO{sub 2}/Ag particles, the characteristic Raman bands of RB could be observed when the RB solution was diluted to 5 ppm (1x10{sup -5} M). Furthermore, the synthesized particles could keep their efficiency till four cycles. -- Graphical Abstract: Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/SiO{sub 2}/Ag particles, a recyclable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) material, were designed and synthesized via a simple ultrasonic route.
