Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs) are atomically thin
semiconductors with a direct bandgap in monolayer thickness, providing ideal platforms for …

We demonstrate local phonon analysis of single AlN nanocrystals by two complementary
imaging spectroscopic techniques: tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) and nano …

This chapter covers state-of-the-art development and results in tip-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (TERS) as a significant configuration of near-field nanospectroscopy. The …

This book builds a narrative on the near-field optical and spectroscopic studies with an
emphasis on plasmonic-and photonic-assisted nano-optics as a tool for superlensing …

It is well known that the resolution of optical microscopy and spectroscopy is limited by the
diffraction limit. This chapter discusses the origin of the diffraction limit and possible ways to …

Conventional optical microscopy is limited by the abbe's diffraction limit. In other words, the
spatial resolution achieved by the optical system is greater than or equal to λ/2, where λ is …

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (TERS) technique is reviewed for studying single
semiconductor nanostructures along with different possible modes of operation in various …

Abbe's limit of optical spatial resolution restricts an accurate spectroscopic characterization
of an object at the nanoscale. Plasmonic assisted nanoscopy, however, can overcome the …
