There has been a great interest in understanding the interactions between light and noble
metal nanoparticles ever since Michael Faraday's study of the ruby-red color of colloidal …

This tutorial review first describes the early history of SERS as the first SERS spectra were
obtained from an electrochemical cell, which led to the discovery of the SERS effect in mid …

In the mid-1970s, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was discovered which
impacted on surface science and spectroscopy because of its extremely high surface …

The applications of multiscale quantum–classical (QM–MM) approaches have shown an
extraordinary expansion and diversification in the last couple of decades. A great proportion …

SERS is some 35 years old, and the subject of over 11 000 articles. The field of Plasmonics,
and large aspects of Metamaterials are clearly based on concepts that became current as a …

The tip-enhanced near-field Raman (TERS) bands of Rhodamine 6G (R6G), that we
reported earlier [Chem. Phys. Lett. 2001, 335, 369.], are assigned on the basis of density …

The surface-enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) of adenine and three deuterated analogues
adsorbed on colloids, electrochemically roughened electrodes, and vacuum deposited …

A universal metal− molecule− metal sandwich architecture by the self-assembly of Ag
nanoparticles (NPs) and Au NPs of various shapes interconnected with 4-aminothiophenol …

The identification and timely detection of pathogenic bacteria is critical to ensuring safe food,
health, and water. Although surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) methods have …

Single-molecule (SM) spectroscopy has been an exciting area of research offering
