A Comprehensive Guide to Photothermal AFM-IR Spectroscopy
An all-inclusive photothermal AFM-IR guide for everyone, from the nanoIR novice to the AFM-IR expert
Authors:
Qichi Hu, Ph.D., Senior Staff Applications Scientist; Cassandra Phillips, Ph.D., Product Manager Nanoscale Infrared Spectroscopy; Peter De Wolf, Ph.D., Senior Director of Technology and Application Development; Thomas Mueller, Ph.D., Senior Director, Business Manager AFMi, NanoIR, and Nanoindentation
Bruker's nanoIR experts have created a one-stop resource for researchers that is both highly accessible for novices and practically valuable for expert-level AFM-IR users. This exclusive twenty page guide covers everything AFM-IR, from its fundamental working principles and advantages/limitations versus other techniques, to practical considerations for experiments and instrumentation and detailed use-case examples.
Readers can expect to:
- Learn what photothermal AFM-IR is, how it works, and what it can do;
- Identify and validate the spectral correlation between AFM-IR and FTIR;
- Understand, recognize, and mitigate experimental factors that can affect the measurement, processing, and characterization of AFM-IR spectra; and
- Gain the technical and practical knowledge needed to confidently interpret AFM-IR data.
