In this work, we develop a graphene-confined ultrafast radiant heating (GCURH) method with a record-high heating and cooling rate of ∼1E9°C/s and a peak temperature above 2 000°C. Based on GCURH, we demonstrate the synthesis of high-loading metal cluster catalysts within microseconds.

In this work, we report the observation of giant lamb shift of single-molecule fluorescence that is coupled with a plasmonic cavity, which reveals the plasmon-molecule interactions at the single-molecule level.

In this work, we for the first time report the observation of intrinsic chiral phonons via transient infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the atomic lattice of monolayer WSe2. The broken inversion symmetry of the monolayer lattice lifts the degeneracy of clockwise and counterclockwise atomic rotations at the corners of the Brillouin zone.

In this review paper, we review the mechanism of plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering (PERS) and discussed PERS hotspots for surface characterization of various materials. In particular, a new generation of hotspots that are generated from hybrid structures combining PERS-active nanostructures and probe materials is highlighted.
