We describe plasmonic interactions in suspended gold bowtie nanoantenna leading to strong electromagnetic field (E) enhancements Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was used to demonstrate the performance of the nanoantenna In addition to the well known gap size dependence up to 2 orders of magnitude additional enhancement is observed with elevated bowties The overall behavior is described by a SERS enhancement factor exceeding 10(11) along with an anomalously weak power law dependence of E on the gap slze in a range from 8 to 50 nm that is attributed to a plasmonic nanocavity effect occurring when the plasmonic interactions enter a strongly coupled regime
