Coupling surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) experiments and microscopic measurements allows obtaining important information on the mechanisms of the Raman enhancement, as well as on the properties of both adsorbates and metal surfaces, where ligand molecules adhere. In particular, confocal SERS microspectroscopy represents an effective development in the performances of the conventiona SERS technique, because more intense Raman signals could be obtained from the microscopic analysis of the sample. Moreover, this investigation allows identifying different molecular components in polymeric layers, in rocks, in cells, and tissues, and studying photochemical processes and catalytic reactions. Applications are possible in many research fields, from nanosensors to nanomedicine, from metal corrosion to art restoration.

Abstract
Coupling surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) experiments and microscopic measurements allows obtaining important information on the mechanisms of the Raman enhancement, as well as on the properties of both adsorbates and metal surfaces, where ligand molecules adhere. In particular, confocal SERS microspectroscopy represents an effective development in the performances of the conventiona SERS technique, because more intense Raman signals could be obtained from the microscopic analysis of the sample. Moreover, this investigation allows identifying different molecular components in polymeric layers, in rocks, in cells, and tissues, and studying photochemical processes and catalytic reactions. Applications are possible in many research fields, from nanosensors to nanomedicine, from metal corrosion to art restoration.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
