Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy: Chemical analysis with nanoscale to angstrom scale resolution
Sayantan Mahapatra, Linfei Li, Jeremy F. Schultz, Nan Jiang
Abstract
Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), a cutting-edge near-field spectroscopic tool, provides invaluable chemical insight with impressive spatial resolution in chemistry-related fields such as molecular and catalytic systems, surface science, two-dimensional materials, and biochemistry. High-resolution TERS, in particular, which has advanced exceptionally in the last five years, provides a unique opportunity to scrutinize single molecules individually. Here, this perspective places emphasis on the basic concepts and recent experimental findings of this state-of-the-art research and concludes with a glimpse of future prospects.
