What are Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS)?
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) are advanced forms of Raman spectroscopy that enhance the Raman signal. SERS uses metallic nanostructures to amplify the Raman scattering, making it possible to detect even single molecules. TERS combines Raman spectroscopy with scanning probe microscopy, providing both chemical information and nanoscale spatial resolution.
