The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

PiFM and PiF-IR are the next generation of infrared spectroscopy techniques. PiFM brought a major shift to atomic force microscopy by adding chemical mapping capabilities. PiF-IR, its sister technique ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, commonly referred to as AFM-IR, is an analytical technique used to understand the chemistry of a material at the nanoscale. It combines the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...

While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...

Conventional spontaneous Raman spectroscopy of interfacial molecules typically requires plasmonic or electronic enhancement, ...

Researchers in Berlin have mapped a previously overlooked molecular twist in water’s top four layers at the air-water ...
