AI Article Synopsis
- TERS is a powerful imaging technique that uses electric field gradients for better performance, which can be enhanced by using a specially focused beam.
- The study explores how adjusting the ring radius of a perfect radially polarized beam improves both the electric field enhancement and gradient in the TERS setup.
- By optimizing these parameters, significant improvements in field enhancement (over 10 times) and field gradient (3 times) can be achieved, suggesting potential advancements in light-matter interactions and spectroscopy.
Article Abstract
Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is a promising label-free super-resolving imaging technique, and the electric field gradient of nanofocusing plays a role in TERS performance. In this paper, we theoretically investigated the enhancement and manipulation of the electric field gradient in a bottom-illumination TERS configuration through a tightly focused perfect radially polarized beam (PRPB). Improvement and manipulation in electric field enhancement and field gradient of the gap-plasmon mode between a plasmonic tip and a virtual surface plasmons (SPs) probe are achieved by adjusting the ring radius of the incident PRPB. Our results demonstrate that the method of optimizing the ring radius of PRPB is to make the illumination angle of incident light as close to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation angle as possible. Under the excitation of optimal parameters, more than 10 folds improvement of field enhancement and 3 times of field gradient of the gap-plasmon mode is realized compared with that of the conventional focused RPB. By this feat, our results indicate that such a method can further enhance the gradient Raman mode in TERS. We envision that the proposed method, to achieve the dynamic manipulation and enhancement of the nanofocusing field and field gradient, can be more broadly used to control light-matter interactions and extend the reach of tip-enhanced spectroscopy.

Computer-aided diagnostic systems have achieved remarkable success in the medical field, particularly in diagnosing malignant tumors, and have done so at a rapid pace. However, the generalizability of the results remains a challenge for researchers and decreases the credibility of these models, which represents a point of criticism by physicians and specialists, especially given the sensitivity of the field. This study proposes a novel model based on deep learning to enhance lung cancer diagnosis quality, understandability, and generalizability.

Topography has an important influence on plant-soil relationships. However, research on plant-soil relationships in alpine grassland at the slope aspect and slope position scales is currently inadequate. In this paper, based on the topographic and geomorphological characteristics of the study area, alpine grassland with typical slope aspect and slope position conditions was selected as the research object.

Edge detection is one of the most essential research hotspots in computer vision and has a wide variety of applications, such as image segmentation, target detection, and other high-level image processing technologies. However, efficient edge detection is difficult in a resource-constrained environment, especially edge-computing hardware. Here, we report a low-power edge detection hardware system based on HfO-based ferroelectric field-effect transistor, which is one of the most potential non-volatile memories for energy-efficient computing.
