Unambiguous chemical identification of individual molecules closely packed on a surface
can offer the possibility to address single chemical species and monitor their behaviour at …

Methods for chemical analysis at the nanometer scale are crucial for understanding and
characterizing nanostructures of modern materials and biological systems. Tip‐enhanced …

The strong spatial confinement of a nanocavity plasmonic field has made it possible to
visualize the inner structure of a single molecule and even to distinguish its vibrational …

Optical microscopy, the simultaneous acquisition of spectroscopic and spatial information
using light, forms the basis of many natural sciences. In this chapter, we review a novel …

This review provides a detailed overview of the state of the art in tip-enhanced Raman
