Deep ultraviolet tip-enhanced Raman scattering
Abstract
Electromagnetic mechanism of deep ultraviolet tip-enhanced Raman scattering (DUV-TERS) is investigated theoretically with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, stimulated by recent DUV-TERS experimental reports. FDTD results reveal that the strongest electromagnetic enhancement factor for DUV-TERS is as high as 7 orders in the optimal geometry.
