Mastering high resolution tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy: towards a shift of perception
Recent years have seen tremendous improvement of our understanding of high resolution reachable in TERS experiments, forcing us to re-evaluate our understanding of the intrinsic limits of this field, but also exposing several inconsistencies.

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy – from early developments to recent advances
An analytical technique operating at the nanoscale must be flexible regarding variable experimental conditions while ideally also being highly specific, extremely sensitive, and spatially confined. TERS has the potential to address all these items and its current status will be thoroughly discussed.

About this collection
We are delighted to present our Chemical Society Reviews themed issue on surface and tip enhanced spectroscopies. Guest edited by Duncan Graham (University of Strathclyde), Martin Moskovits (University of California, Santa Barbara) and Zhong-Qun Tian (Xiamen University), this issue aims to offer highlights topics including plasmon enhanced Raman scattering, tip enhanced Raman scattering and surface/tip enhanced IR spectroscopy, surface-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy and surface-enhanced nonlinear spectroscopy from theoretical and experimental perspectives. In line with our collaborative approach for reviews, most articles in this themed issue will assemble joint contributions of leading groups and will explore both experimental and theoretical aspects in a combined approach. New articles will be added to this collection as they are published.
