Tunneling electron-induced reactions: tautomerisation and reversible bond formation in single molecules

In the first part, I will present our recent work on tunneling electron-induced tautomerisation of
single porphycene molecules on a Cu(110) surface [1,2]. In particular, how this tautomerisation can
be controlled by nearby atoms or molocules will be discussed.

Towards Ultrasensitive Nanoscale Chemical Imaging under Ambient Laboratory Conditions

Trapping light waves as a result of their resonant interaction with free electrons in the conduction band of metals is the concept behind several emerging nanophotonic technologies. The localization of surface plasmons using engineered metal nanostructures and their interaction with molecular polarizability tensors have afforded single molecule detection sensitivity in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and more recently, chemical imaging within one molecule through tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS).
