Shed Light on Surface | How to use FT-IR to characterize surfaces
FT-IR spectroscopy is an easy-to-use and nondestructive analysis tool for chemical identification, quantification, composition analysis, optical characterization and many more. Depending on measurement geometry (beside transmission measurement) and optical properties of sample materials FT-IR can be very surface sensitive. It provides plenty of surface analysis techniques with different penetration depth to qualitatively or quantitatively characterize the upper layer of a sample, to follow surface reactions or to observe surface emissions etc. Depending on sample form, e.g. powder, gel, liquid, crystal blocks, coatings, micro sized samples or else, different FT-IR techniques can be applied.
