Abstract
It has been expected that the gradient force in the electric field induced by the excitation of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) could retard the molecular Brownian motion, if molecules has enough polarizability to generate optical force beyond thermal fluctuation. In this study, we have attempted to observe the optical molecular manipulation at the gap of plasmonic bow-tie nanostructures in the bi-analyte solution of molecules. Through the evaluation of the surface diffusion process by electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements, it has been found that the control of the electrochemical potential of the metal nanostructures realized the molecular selective manipulation. In addition, we have successfully observed the formation of unique phase of molecule condensation at electrified interface.
