They play a role in Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and in explaining anomalies in diffraction from metal gratings ( Wood's anomaly ), among other things.

In cancer research, colloidal gold can be used to target tumors and provide detection using SERS ( Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy ) in vivo.

He has worked in the fields of Surface Enhanced Raman scattering, light emission from tunnel junctions and electron injection devices, noise in semiconducting devices, scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning SQUID microscopy.

Surface plasmons have been used to enhance the surface sensitivity of several spectroscopic measurements including fluorescence, Raman scattering, and second harmonic generation.

Other techniques for measuring the properties of thin films include Ellipsometry, Surface Plasmon Resonance ( SPR ) Spectroscopy, and Dual Polarisation Interferometry.

Spectroscopy consists of many different applications such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, dual polarisation interferometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, photoemission spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy and so on.

Chemists are focusing on the energy exchange of different binding interactions and trying to develop scientific experiments to quantify the fundamental origins of these non-covalent interactions by utilizing various techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, surface tension, and UV-Vis Spectroscopy.

Another procedure is based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy ( SERS ).

have shown that supramolecular host-guest chemistry offers quantitative sensing using Raman scattered light as well as SERS.

Numerous other spectroscopic techniques are used such as Second harmonic generation ( SHG ), Sum frequency generation ( SFG ), Surface-enhanced Raman scattering ( SERS ), as well as High-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy ( HREELS ).
