Tip‐Enhanced Near‐Field Optical Microscopy
Abstract
Spectroscopic methods with high spatial resolution are essential for understanding the physical and chemical properties of nanoscale materials, including quantum structures and biological surfaces. An optical technique is reviewed that relies on the enhanced electric fields in the proximity of a sharp, laser‐irradiated metal tip. These fields are utilized for spatially confined probing of various optical signals, thus allowing for a detailed sample characterization far below the diffraction limit. In addition, tip‐enhanced fields also provide the sensitivity crucial for the detection of nanoscale volumes. After outlining the principles of near‐field optics, the mechanisms contributing to local field enhancement and how it can be used to enhance optical signals are discussed. Different experimental methods are presented and several recent examples of Raman and fluorescence microscopy with 10 nm spatial resolution of single molecules are reviewed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
