Single-molecule optomechanics in “picocavities”
Open accessAbstract
A cool route to nanospectroscopy: Confining light to a cavity is often used to enhance the interaction between the light and a particle stored within the cavity. Benz et al. worked with a self-assembled monolayer of biphenyl-4-thiol molecules sandwiched between a gold film and a gold nanoparticle. They used laser irradiation to move atoms in the nanoparticle and produced a “picocavity” that was stable at cryogenic temperatures. The authors were then able to obtain time-dependent Raman spectra from individual molecules. Such subwavelength cavities that can localize light to volumes well below 1 nm 3 will enable optical experiments on the atomic scale. Science , this issue p. 726

“…shown that individual atomic features inside the gap of a plasmonic nanoassembly (cavity) can localize light to volumes well below 1 cubic nanometer, forming ‘picocavities’ that enable optical experiments and singlemolecule probes on the atomic scale (Chikkaraddy et al., 2016; Benz et al., 2016).”

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.
