The magic of nanoplasmonics: from superhydrophobic and 3D suspended devices for SERS/TERS-like applications to hot-electrons based nanoscopy
2014
The ability to confine light in small volumes, associated to low background signals, is an important technological
achievement for a number of disciplines such as biology or electronics. In fact, decoupling the source position from the
sample area allows an unprecedented sensitivity which can be exploited in different systems. The most direct
implications are however related to either Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) or Tip Enhanced Raman
Scattering (TERS). Furthermore, while the combination with super-hydrophobic patterns can overcome the typical
diffusion limit of sensors, focused surface plasmons decaying into hot electrons can be exploited to study the electronic
properties of the sample by means of a Schottky junction. Within this paper these techniques will be briefly described
and the key role played by both surface and localized plasmons will be highlighted.
