Current Research Focus / Topic:

The main focus of my research is the theoretical investigation of plasmonic near-fields generated by TERS probes in different conditions, with use of Finite-Element-Method in Comsol Multiphysics. The purpose of these investigations is to use this newly gained knowledge synergistically with experiment in order to improve the overall performance of TERS setups. More precisely, one of the main aim of my PhD is to develop a theoretical justification for the ultra-high lateral resolution (< 1 nm) accesible in TERS that can hardly be predicted by the current calculation methodologies.
