Abstract
Gaining valuable insight into chemistry-related fields, such as molecular and catalytic systems, surface science, and biochemistry, requires probing physical and chemical processes at the sub-nanoscale level. Recent progress and advancements in nano-optics and nano-photonics, particularly in scanning near-field optical microscopy, have enabled the coupling of light with nano-objects using surface plasmons with sub-nanoscale precision, providing access to photophysical and photochemical processes. Herein, this review highlights the basic concepts of surface plasmons and recent experimental findings of tip-assisted plasmon-induced research works and offers a glimpse into future perspectives.
