Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS)
have opened a variety of exciting research fields. However, although a vast number of …

The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on
nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical …

Visible-light-driven photochemistry has continued to attract heightened interest due to its
capacity to efficiently harvest solar energy and its potential to solve the global energy crisis …

Plasmonic nanostructures have tremendous potential to be applied in photocatalytic CO2
reduction, since their localized surface plasmon resonance can collect low‐energy‐photons …

Ultrathin dielectric gaps between metals can trap plasmonic optical modes with surprisingly
low loss and with volumes below 1 nm3. We review the origin and subtle properties of these …

Plasmonic gold nanoparticles have been used increasingly in solid-state systems because
of their applicability in fabricating novel sensors, heterogeneous catalysts, metamaterials …

Optoelectronic effects differentiating absorption of right and left circularly polarized photons
in thin films of chiral materials are typically prohibitively small for their direct photocurrent …

In this review, we present the theoretical foundations and first-principles frameworks to
describe quantum matter within quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the low-energy regime …

Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow
efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

Plasmonic biosensing has been used for fast, real-time, and label-free probing of
biologically relevant analytes, where the main challenges are to detect small molecules at …
