The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on
nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical …

Surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy strongly increases the cross section of Raman
scattering and infrared absorption, overcoming the limited sensitivity and resolution of these …

The electromagnetic enhancement theory describes surface‐enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS) as a Raman effect that takes place in the near‐field of a plasmonic nanostructure …

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) demands reliable, high-enhancement
substrates in order to be used in different fields of application. Here we introduce …

Raman spectroscopy enables the non-destructive characterization of chemical composition,
crystallinity, defects, or strain in countless materials. However, the Raman response of …

The search for novel platforms and metamaterials for the enhancement of optical and
particularly Raman signals is still an objective since optical techniques offer affordable …

Collective excited states form in organic two-dimensional layers through Coulomb coupling
of the molecular transition dipole moments. They manifest as characteristic strong and …

Theoretical modeling of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is of central
importance for unraveling the interplay of underlying processes and a predictive design of …

We present a two-step procedure to probe hotspots of plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering
with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Dielectrophoretic deposition places a small CNT bundle on …

In chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of graphene, surface roughness and purity of the
copper substrate are very crucial for obtaining uniform films. Even though electrochemical …
