Novel types of spectroscopies with promising technological applications have been developed through the combination of molecular spectroscopies based on infrared absorption, Raman scattering, and fluorescence emission with metal nanostructures generating very high locally increased electric fields upon resonant excitation. This PCCP themed collection, ‘Surface-enhanced spectroscopies‘, brings together contributions from various disciplines (physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, life sciences) and covers the full range of topics from fundamentals to methods and applications.
The Guest Editors for this themed collection are Rudolf Holze (Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany) and Sebastian Schlücker (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany). Their Editorial can be viewed for free until 30th September 2015, along with this selection of articles: |
