Single-Molecule Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Victoria University of Wellington · MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology
Abstract
A general overview of the field of single-molecule (SM) surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as it stands today is provided. After years of debates on the basic aspects of SM-SERS, the technique is emerging as a well-established subfield of spectroscopy and SERS. SM-SERS is allowing the observation of subtle spectroscopic phenomena that were not hitherto accessible. Examples of the latter are natural isotopic substitutions in single molecules, observation of the true homogeneous broadening of Raman peaks, Raman excitation profiles of individual molecules, and SM electrochemistry. With background examples of the contributions produced by our group, properly interleaved with results by other practitioners…
