In this paper, due to the importance and abundant applications of carbon nanotubes doped with boron (CNT/B2O3) in various industries with changes in the electrical, mechanical and chemical properties, mode identification and intensity of the Raman spectra of pure and boron oxide molecule-doped spectra have been performed. 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 B2O3using 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/INR)(ISERS/ISERSINRINR) increases in the D, G and boron oxide modes of up to 12-fold were observed. A good agreement is found between the computational and the experimental SERS results for the vibrational spectra of the synthesized composite materials.
