Technology
This novel method allows the analysis of substances in very small quantities, even single molecules, with common techniques. Therefore the substances to be analyzed are covered with a graphene layer.
Graphene is a monoatomically thick and flexible layer, which provides thermal and electrical conductivity as well as high optical transparency and impermeability to gases and liquids. Thus graphene can act as protective layer against local heating. Graphene exhibits plasmon resonance in the ultraviolet and blue spectral region and thus can enhance Raman signals.
