Abstract
A possibility to not only visualize but to locally probe a chemical structure, composition, conformational state and stresses on the nanoscale has stimulated the development of apertureless near-field vibrational spectroscopy and imaging with ultrahigh spatial resolution laying beyond the diffraction limit [1–3]. It has become possible due to the
delocalization of evanescent waves (near-field) existing in the proximity of nano-sized objects with a sharp metal probe.
