A perspective on single molecule SERS: current status and future challenges
Abstract
We present an overview of a some of the basic principles underlying current research in single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SM-SERS). We summarize, by the same token, a series of conditions and characteristics that are common to most SM-SERS conditions, and discuss their implications for the understanding of data and for the comparison among different methods. We try to emphasize aspects of the problem that are not conventionally discussed in detail in the literature. In particular, we provide a full length discussion on the topics of: (i) the minimum SERS enhancement necessary to observe a single molecule, and (ii) the spatial distribution of the enhancement factor (EF) around hot-spots (which affects the statistics of SM-SERS events). A brief outlook into future perspectives of the different techniques used in SM-SERS and a few outstanding questions are also provided.

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.
