title: Harnessing the interparticle J-aggregate induced plasmonic coupling for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
abstract: This report demonstrates that both surface plasmon resonance absorption and surface-enhanced Raman scattering work in concert with plasmonic coupling. The kinetic correlation between the two spectroscopic signatures highlights an effective pathway for harnessing the nanoparticles in solution for a broad range of applications by exploiting the plasmonic and spectroscopic properties.
