Almost all local deviations from the perfect crystalline structure will express themselves through a change of symmetry in the proximity of the perturbation as a consequence of which the Raman spectrum is expected to change. These changes typically occur on length scales between a few unit cells and tens of nanometers. Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy offers both the spatial resolution and signal enhancement to detect these areas. Knowing that regions with technically different crystallographic phases exist naturally and may also be engineered, the capability of imaging these regions opens opportunities for targeted surface engineering of functional surfaces.
