  • Title: DFT vibrational calculations of rhodamine 6G adsorbed on silver: analysis of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
    Author: Watanabe H, Hayazawa N, Inouye Y, Kawata S.
    Journal: J Phys Chem B; 2005 Mar 24; 109(11):5012-20. PubMed ID: 16863161.
    Abstract:
    The tip-enhanced near-field Raman (TERS) bands of Rhodamine 6G (R6G), that we reported earlier [Chem. Phys. Lett. 2001, 335, 369.], are assigned on the basis of density-functional theory (DFT) calculations at the 6-311++G(d,p) level. The Raman and infrared intensities as well as frequencies of the vibrational modes are used for band assignments. These vibrational modes, in combination with characterization of resonant electronic transitions using time-dependent DFT calculations, predict spectral changes in resonant Raman and surface-enhanced resonant Raman scatterings of R6G. Moreover, the TERS spectra of R6G are analyzed in detail, where interactions between the tip and R6G molecules and their enhancement mechanisms are discussed. Finally, we propose a novel Raman spectroscopy technique capable of detecting molecular vibrations at sub-nanometer scale.
