TL;DR: Raman spectral imaging with spatial resolution below one nanometre is demonstrated, resolving the inner structure and surface configuration of a single molecule by spectrally matching the resonance of the nanocavity plasmon to the molecular vibronic transitions, particularly the downward transition responsible for the emission of Raman photons.

Nanostructure-based plasmon-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for surface analysis of materials
Song-Yuan Ding,Jun Yi,Jian-Feng Li,Bin Ren,De-Yin Wu,Rajapandiyan Panneerselvam,Zhong-Qun Tian +6 more
TL;DR: A review of the plasmon-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PERS) field can be found in this paper, where a new generation of hotspots that are generated from hybrid structures combining PERS-active nanostructures and probe materials are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and biophysics
TL;DR: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a spectroscopic technique which combines modern laser spectroscopy with the exciting optical properties of metallic nanostructures, resulting in strongly increased Raman signals when molecules are attached to nanometre-sized gold and silver structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetic theories of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
TL;DR: This review summarizes the development of theories over the past four decades pertinent to SERS, especially those contributing to the current understanding of surface-plasmon (SP) resonances in the nanostructured conductor.

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.

TL;DR: Individual carbocyanine dye molecules in a sub-monolayer spread have been imaged with near-field scanning optical microscopy and the orientation of each molecular dipole can be determined to map the electric field distribution in the near- field aperture with molecular spatial resolution.

Near-Field Fluorescence Microscopy Based on Two-Photon Excitation with Metal Tips
TL;DR: In this article, a near-field fluorescence imaging using femtosecond laser pulses of proper polarization is presented. But the technique is not suitable for near field imaging, and the spatial resolution is limited to 20 nm.
