abstract = {The optical effect of a nanometer or sub-nanometer   interfacial layer of condensed molecules surrounding individual   nanomaterials such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been   studied theoretically and experimentally. This interfacial layer, when   illuminated by light, behaves as an optical dipole lattice and contributes an   instantaneous near field which enhances the local field on neighboring atoms,   molecules, or nanomaterials, which in turn may lead to enhanced Rayleigh   scattering, Raman scattering, and fluorescence. The theory of this interface   dipole enhanced effect (IDEE) predicts that a smaller distance between the nanomaterials and the plane of the   interfacial layer, or a larger ratio of the dielectric constants of   the interfacial layer to the surrounding medium, will result in a larger   field enhancement factor. This prediction is further experimentally verified   by several implementations of enhanced Rayleigh scattering of SWCNTs as well   as in situ Rayleigh scattering of gradually charged SWCNTs. The   interface dipole enhanced Rayleigh scattering not only enables true-color   real-time imaging of nanomaterials, but also provides an effective means to   peer into the subtle interfacial phenomena.}
