Physicists obtain molecular ‘fingerprints’ using
plasmons

Scientists from the Center for Photonics and 2-D
Materials of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT),
the University of Oviedo, Donostia International Physics Center,
and CIC nanoGUNE have proposed a new way to study the properties of
individual organic molecules and nanolayers of molecules. The
approach, described in Nanophotonics, relies on V-shaped
graphene-metal film structures.
