Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an experimental tool for accessing
vibrational and chemical information, down to the single molecule level. SERS typically …

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is enabled by local surface plasmon
resonances (LSPRs) in metallic nanogaps. When SERS is excited by direct illumination of …

The significant electric field enhancements that occur in plasmonic nanogap junctions are
instrumental in boosting the performance of spectroscopy, optoelectronics and catalysis …

Illumination of noble metal nanostructures by electromagnetic radiation induces coherent
oscillations of conductive electrons on their surfaces. These coherent oscillations of …

The nanogap is possibly the single most important physical entity in surface-enhanced
Raman scattering. Nanogaps between noble metal nanostructures deliver extremely high …

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a highly sensitive vibrational spectroscopy
that allows for structural determination of analytes with utmost resolution. SERS remarkable …

Over the past decade, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), an emerging analytical
