Advancing Raman Spectroscopy Resolution towards the Nanoscale: Fundamentals, Advantages, and Applications of Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy has long been a powerful analytical technique for studying molecular interactions and chemical properties of materials. However, its limited spatial resolution has posed a challenge in observing nanoscale phenomena. In response to this challenge, the field of Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) has emerged as a revolutionary approach, pushing the boundaries of Raman spectroscopy resolution down to the nanoscale. This presentation delves into the fundamentals of TERS, highlighting its advantages over traditional Raman spectroscopy, and explores its diverse applications across various scientific disciplines (electronics, green transitions, biology, ....).
