This cover art depicts local deformation of an isolated single-walled carbon nanotube that is pressed by the apex of a nano-tip. The vibrational frequencies originating from this locally pressurized volume are distinctly different from those originating from rest of the sample. By sensing this difference, it is possible to image the sample with an extremely high spatial resolution in tip-enhanced Raman microscopy. We have previously demonstrated a spatial resolution of 3-4 nm ( Nature Photonics, 3, 473 (2009).; and Phys. Rev. Lett., 102, 186101 (2009).) in optical microscopy.
