“…Nanostructures that support surface plasmon resonance (SPR) have been widely used for sensing and biosensing applications through the use of different techniques, including SPR spectroscopy [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], SPR imaging [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ] and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. SERS, particularly, allows for highly sensitive detection and specific identification of analytes.…”
