- The experiment reported in this paper is the first successful use of AFM to measure the localisation and volume of analyte for monolayer and multilayer molecular films on nanoantenna arrays. This provided the first rigorous measurement of the enhancement factor provided by nanoantenna arrays for detection of molecular resonances. The use of nanoantenna arrays to provide enhancement of molecular sensing is an important field in the development of biosensors but there has been much debate about the assumptions made in the volume of analyte being measured which this paper addressed.
