Recent Advances in TERS Imaging of 2D Materials
Webinar Date/Time: Tue, Dec 10, 2024 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will cover exciting advances in tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) characterization of 2D materials, including the following: Excitation wavelength dependence of the gap mode TERS of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs); proximity-induced magic Raman bands in TERS spectra of 1-L hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN); TERS-enabled characterization of nanoscale growth defects; and clarification of the composition misconceptions in Janus TMD monolayers.

Event Overview:
In this webinar, a number of exciting developments in the tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) field will be discussed, including non–trivial excitation wavelength dependence of the gap-mode TERS response of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) on silver that resulted in reconsidering the role of resonance effects and strong optical coupling in TERS and completely unexpected discovery of the normally forbidden Raman bands in TERS spectra of the monolayer h-BN on gold caused by the proximity of TMD monolayer to multiple layers exfoliated on top. In addition, the webinar will also have a beautiful demonstration of the power of cross-correlated atomic force microscopy-based tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (AFM-TERS) nanoscale imaging for characterization of the nanoscale growth defects in Janus TMD monolayers that will help address misconceptions about the composition of Janus material and outline the strategies for improved synthetic procedures.

Using Raman Spectroscopy and Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy to Detect Cholesterol Disorders
November 25th 2024Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method using Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with gold nanoparticles to accurately quantify intracellular cholesterol.
Nanometer-Scale Studies Using Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
February 8th 2013Volker Deckert, the winner of the 2013 Charles Mann Award, is advancing the use of tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to push the lateral resolution of vibrational spectroscopy well below the Abbe limit, to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. Because the tip can be moved with sub-nanometer precision, structural information with unmatched spatial resolution can be achieved without the need of specific labels.
