Enhanced Raman Scattering with Dielectrics.
TLDR
This review provides a broad analysis of SERS with dielectrics, encompassing different optical phenomena at the basis of the Raman scattering enhancement and introducing future challenges for light harvesting, vibrational spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing.Abstract:
Dielectrics represent a new frontier for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. They can serve as either a complement or an alternative to conventional, metal-based SERS, offering key advantages in terms of low invasiveness, reproducibility, versatility, and recyclability. In comparison to metals, dielectric systems and, in particular, semiconductors are characterized by a much greater variety of parameters and properties that can be tailored to achieve enhanced Raman scattering or related effects. Light-trapping and subwavelength-focusing capabilities, morphology-dependent resonances, control of band gap and stoichiometry, size-dependent plasmons and excitons, and charge transfer from semiconductors to molecules and vice versa are a few examples of the manifold opportunities associated with the use of semiconductors as SERS-active materials. This review provides a broad analysis of SERS with dielectrics, encompassing different optical phenomena at the basis of the Raman scattering enhancement and introducing...read more

Probing Single Molecules and Single Nanoparticles by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering
Shuming Nie,Steven R. Emory +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, surface-enhanced Raman scattering was used to detect single molecules and single nanoparticles at room temperature with the use of surface enhanced Raman, and the intrinsic Raman enhancement factors were on the order of 10 14 to 10 15, much larger than the ensemble-averaged values derived from conventional measurements.
