Here we present results that investigate the origins of signals observed in
tip-enhanced Raman (TERS) measurements of functionalized nanoparticles. Surface
enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is known to give the largest enhancements in gap
junctions. Similarly, gap-mode TERS also produces significant enhancements. The
methodology developed here provides gap-mode like enhancements in TERS
measurements without the need for a metal surface. Using a combination of
aggregated nanoparticle SERS and TERS detection of functionalized nanoparticles,
we assess the chemical origins of the observed peaks and show that molecules
outside of gap junctions are also enhanced using our methodology. Our experiments
use biotin and streptavidin as a model system for protein-ligand binding.
Different size functionalized nanoparticles (20, 50, 80 nm) show changes in
intensity in both SERS and TERS measurements. SERS measurements indicate that
streptavidin has a larger Raman cross-section than biotin and is preferentially
observed. The specific streptavidin peaks observed by TERS vary depending on
whether streptavidin is attached to the nanoparticle and located in the gap or
bound to the substrate surface. This methodology suggests a route to enhancing
TERS signals associated with protein receptors in biological systems that cannot
be isolated to a metallic surface.
