Super-resolution Optical Imaging of Single-Molecule SERS Hot Spots

Stranahan, Sarah M., Willets, Katherine A.·2010·Nano Letters

Abstract

We present the first super-resolution optical images of single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SM-SERS) hot spots, using super-resolution imaging as a powerful new tool for understanding the interaction between single molecules and nanoparticle hot spots. Using point spread function fitting, we map the centroid position of SM-SERS with +/-10 nm resolution, revealing a spatial relationship between the SM-SERS centroid position and the highest SERS intensity. We are also able to measure the unique position of the SM-SERS centroid relative to the centroid associated with nanoparticle photoluminescence, which allows us to speculate on the presence of multiple hot spots within a single diffraction-limited spot. These measurements allow us to follow dynamic movement of the SM-SERS centroid position over time as it samples different locations in space and explores regions larger than the expected size of a SM-SERS hot spot. We have proposed that the movement of the SERS centroid is due to diffusion of a single molecule on the surface of the nanoparticle, which leads to changes in coupling between the scattering dipole and the optical near field of the nanoparticle.

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.
