The advent of nanotechnology, and the need to understand the chemical composition at the
nanoscale, has stimulated the convergence of IR and Raman spectroscopy with scanning …

As the" fingerprint" spectrum of substances, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)
has extremely high sensitivity. It can detect the molecular traits on the metal surface and …

Conspectus Hot carriers are highly energetic species that can perform a large spectrum of
chemical reactions. They are generated on the surfaces of nanostructures via direct …

The semiconductor–metal junction is one of the most critical factors for high-performance
electronic devices. In two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor devices, minimizing the voltage …

Recent studies on plasmon-assisted chemical reactions postulate that the hot electrons of
plasmon-excited nanostructures may induce a non-thermal vibrational activation of metal …

Noble metal nanostructures absorb light producing coherent oscillations of the metal's
electrons, so-called localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs). LSPRs can decay …

A detailed understanding of the interaction between molecules and plasmonic
nanostructures is important for several exciting developments in (bio) molecular sensing and …

Chemistry on solid surfaces is central to many research areas of practical interest, such as
synthesis, catalysis, electrochemistry, photochemistry, and materials science. A …

Abnormal aggregation of amyloid‐β is a very complex and heterogeneous process. Owing
to methodological limitations, the aggregation pathway is still not fully understood. Herein a …

Classical versus quantum plasmons are responsible for the recorded signals in non-contact-
mode versus contact-mode tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and lead to distinct …
