It is demonstrated that there is no chemical enhancement in Surface Enhanced spectroscopy, but the enhancement is of a pure electrodynamical nature.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) process results in a tremendous increase of Raman scattering cross section of molecules adsorbed to plasmonic metals and influenced by numerous physico-chemical factors such as geometry and optical properties
of the metal surface, orientation of chemisorbed molecules and chemical environment. While SERS holds promise for single molecule sensitivity and optical sensing of DNA sequences, more detailed understanding of the rich physico-chemical interplay between various factors is needed to enhance predictive power of existing and future SERS-based DNA sensing platforms. In this work we report on experimental results indicating that SERS spectra of adsorbed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) isomers depend on the order on which individual bases appear in the 3-base long ssDNA due to intra-molecular interaction between DNA bases. Furthermore, we experimentally demonstrate that the effect holds under more general conditions when the molecules dont experience chemical enhancement due to resonant charge transfer effect and also under standard Raman scattering without electromagnetic or chemical enhancements. Our numerical simulations qualitatively support the experimental findings and indicate that base permutation results in modification of both Raman and chemically enhanced Raman spectra.
Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and Surface-Enhanced Fluorescence (SEF) are studied within the framework of modified Spontaneous Emission (SE), and similarities and differences are highlighted. This description sheds new light into several a
spects of the SERS electromagnetic enhancement. In addition, combined with the optical reciprocity theorem it also provides a rigorous justification of a generalized version of the widely used SERS enhancement factor proportional to the fourth power of the field ($|E|^4$). We show, in addition, that this approach also applies to the calculation of Surface-Enhanced Fluorescence cross-sections thus presenting both phenomena SERS and SEF within a unified framework.
The review is devoted to explanation of SERS in terms of the dipole and quadrupole light-molecule interactions arising in surface fields strongly varying in space in the region of the strongly irregular surface roughness. The main SERS characteristic
s, the theory of electromagnetic fields near some model kinds of rough surfaces and some other systems, the theory of SERS Raman tensor for arbitrary and symmetrical molecules, selection rules and analysis of the SER spectra, some anomalies in the SER spectra of symmetrical molecules for some specific conditions, electrodynamic forbiddance of the quadrupole scattering mechanism for the methane molecule and molecules with cubic symmetry groups are considered. The huge enhancement and blinking of the SERS signal arising in the phenomenon of Single Molecule detection by the SERS method are explained. The above theory is compared with some another SERS mechanisms, and the phenomena accompanying SERS are accounted for. It is demonstrated that the theory is in a good agreement with the experiment and explains quite a number of characteristics related to the SERS phenomenon.
The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is detrimental for rechargeable batteries performance and lifetime. Understanding its formation requires analytical techniques that provide molecular level insight. Here dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is uti
lized for the first time for enhancing the sensitivity of solid state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy to the SEI. The approach is demonstrated on reduced-graphene oxide (rGO) cycled in Li-ion cells in natural abundance and 13C-enriched electrolyte solvents. Our results indicate that DNP enhances the signal of outer SEI layers, enabling detection of natural abundance 13C spectra from this component of the SEI at reasonable timeframes. Furthermore, 13C- enriched electrolytes measurements at 100K provide ample sensitivity without DNP due to the vast amount of SEI filling the rGO pores, thereby allowing differentiating the inner and outer SEI layers composition. Developing this approach further will benefit the study of many electrode materials, equipping ssNMR with the needed sensitivity to efficiently probe the SEI.
The temperature increase and temperature gradients induced by mid-infrared laser illumination of vertical gold nanoantenna arrays embedded into polymer layers was measured directly with a photothermal expansion nanoscope. Nanoscale thermal hotspot im
ages and local temperature increase spectra were both obtained, the latter by broadly tuning the emission wavelength of a quantum cascade laser. The spectral analysis indicates that plasmon-enhanced mid-infrared vibrations of molecules located in the antenna hotspots are responsible for some of the thermoplasmonic resonances, while Joule heating in gold is responsible for the remaining resonances. In particular, plasmonic dark modes with low scattering cross-section mostly produce surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA), while bright modes with strong radiation coupling produce Joule heating. The dark modes do not modify the molecular absorption lineshape and the related temperature increase is chemically triggered by the presence of molecules with vibrational fingerprints resonant with the plasmonic dark modes. The bright modes, instead, are prone to Fano interference, display an asymmetric molecular absorption lineshape and generate heat also at frequencies far from molecular vibrations, insofar lacking chemical specificity. For focused mid-infrared laser power of 50 mW, the measured nanoscale temperature increases are in the range of 10 K and temperature gradients reach 5 K/$mu$m in the case of dark modes resonating with strong infrared vibrations such as the C=O bond of poly-methylmethacrylate at 1730 cm$^{-1}$.
