Surface and interfaces play key roles in heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry and
photo (electro) chemistry. Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) combines plasmon …

An analytical technique operating at the nanoscale must be flexible regarding variable
experimental conditions while ideally also being highly specific, extremely sensitive, and …

Raman spectroscopy is an increasingly popular technique in many areas, including biology
and medicine. It is based on Raman scattering, a phenomenon in which incident photons …

Metallic nanostructures attract much interest as an efficient media for surface‐enhanced
Raman scattering (SERS). Significant progress has been made on the synthesis of metal …

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent an important class of crystalline porous
materials with designable structures and functions. The interconnected organic monomers …

Optical microscopy, the simultaneous acquisition of spectroscopic and spatial information
using light, forms the basis of many natural sciences. In this chapter, we review a novel …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was discovered three decades ago and has
gone through a tortuous pathway to develop into a powerful diagnostic technique. Recently …

We present single molecule tip-enhanced resonance Raman spectra from brilliant cresyl
blue (BCB) submonolayers adsorbed on a planar Au surface with Ag tips. A gap of 1 nm …

We use three‐dimensional finite‐difference time domain (3D‐FDTD) simulations to
investigate the field enhancement properties of tip‐enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) in …

After over 15 years of development, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is now
facing a very important stage in its history. TERS offers high detection sensitivity down to …
