Surface-and tip-enhanced Raman and LSPR spectroscopies have developed over the past
15 years as unique tools for uncovering the properties of single particles and single …

The p K a's of substituted thiols are important for understanding their properties and
reactivities in applications in chemistry, biochemistry, and material chemistry. For a …

The progress of experimental techniques at the nanoscale in the last decade made optical
measurements in current-carrying nanojunctions a reality, thus indicating the emergence of …

The tip is key to the successful execution of tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS)
measurements in the single molecule limit. We show that nanoscopically smooth silver tips …

By taking advantage of the tensor nature of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), we
track trajectories of the linker molecule and a CO molecule chemisorbed at the hot spot of a …

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been recognized as a promising label-
free technology for clinical monitoring due to its high sensitivity and multiplexing ability …

Bimetallic Ag–Cu alloy microflowers with tunable surface compositions were fabricated as
surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates with a limit of detection in the …

Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) in ångström-scale plasmonic cavities has drawn
increasing attention. However, Raman scattering at vanishing cavity distances remains …

Highly sensitive assays that can specifically target several analytes in parallel by using a
single sample, ie, multiplexed, are of interest for improved disease diagnostics,[1, 2] …

Intensity spikes in Raman scattering, accompanied by switching between line spectra and
band spectra, can be assigned to shorting the junction plasmon through molecular …
