Spectroscopic methods with high spatial resolution are essential to understand the physical
and chemical properties of nanoscale materials including biological and chemical materials …

In this short summary we summarize some of the latest developments in vibrational
spectroscopic tools applied for the sensing of (small) molecules and biomolecules in a label …

Step, ridge, and crack submicro/nanostructures of epitaxial graphene on 4H-SiC (0001̅)
were characterized using tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) spectroscopy. The …

We have used elastomeric stamps with periodically varying adhesive properties to introduce
structure and print folded graphene films. The structure of the induced folds is investigated …

We demonstrate experimentally that a nano-gap could be constructed by using a scanning
probe microscope to allow a gold tip to approach a gold nanorod immobilized on a glass …

Single-layer graphene microislands with smooth edges and no visible grain boundary were
epitaxially grown on the C-face of 4H-SiC and then characterized at the nanoscale using tip …

We calculated the polarized Raman spectra (PRS) and angle‐resolved polarized Raman
intensities (APRIs) of graphene nanoribbons with edges terminated by functional groups C …

We have developed a “vibrational noise spectroscopy (VNS)” method to identify and map
vibrational modes of molecular wires on a solid substrate. In the method, electrical-noises …

Tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is a powerful analytical technique for chemical
analysis at the nanoscale. Three different scanning probe microscopy tip‐enhanced Raman …

Nanomaterials such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes have been matters of
great interest in a wide variety of research fields because of their unique material properties …
