Energy Materials / Photonic Crystals

In the study by Arpin et al. (2013), 3D self-assembled tungsten photonic crystals retain their structure up to ~1,400 °C, while exhibiting tailored IR reflectance/emissivity spectra that show enhanced useful thermal emission and suppressed undesired IR emission.

The role of HYPERION: researchers used reflectance IR to infer spectral emissivity via Kirchhoff’s law and applied reflectance analysis to directly link to emissivity control of tungsten photonic crystals.    

Nanophotonics / Bioanalytics

Amenabar et al. (2013) demonstrated infrared nanospectroscopy (nano-FT-IR) mapping of individual protein complexes (e.g. ferritin, insulin fibrils) with ~30 nm lateral resolution, interpreting local broadband spectra in the amide I/II region to deduce secondary structure at the nanoscale.

The role of HYPERION: FT-IR spectra were acquired as reference spectra and to compare peak positions and band shapes with the nano-FT-IR data, thereby supporting assignments of local secondary-structure resonances.

Plastmonics / Supercrystals

Mueller et al. synthesized three-dimensional, self-assembled gold nanoparticle “supercrystals” and demonstrated that plasmon polaritons in these crystals induce strong near-field enhancement across visible to mid-IR bands, enabling both SERS and SEIRAS of ligand molecules.

The role of HYPERION: IR reflectance and transmittance spectra on plasmonic supercrystal films where collected demonstrating coupling between plasmonic modes and molecular vibrations and quantifying SEIRAS enhancement.

On-Chip-Screening / Biomedical

In Benz et al. (2020) a dendrimer-based, patterned indium-tin-oxide (ITO) slide was used to generate >50,000 nanodroplet vessels per plate, enabling on‐chip chemical synthesis and ultra-sensitive MALDI-TOF MS, UV–Vis reaction monitoring (RM) and on-chip IR spectroscopy for RM and characterization in high-throughput drug discovery.

The role of HYPERION: IR spectra from the droplet array spots provided molecular vibrational absorption signatures to complement MS and UV-Vis data, thus supporting high-throughput characterization of the synthesized library.

Plasmonics / Metamaterials

Paggi et al. (2023) demonstrate an over-coupled metasurface resonator that enhances molecular vibrational absorption across the mid-IR range (5–10 μm) by coupling weak plasmonic modes to molecular vibrations, achieving reflectivity variations up to 1% per nanometer of molecular layer thickness. 

The role of HYPERION: IR spectra in the mid-IR allowed to assess the influence of the metasurface resonator on vibrational modes, shed light onto the broadband SEIRA mechanism and supported the design of detection platforms.

Polariscopy / Nanomaterials

Honda et al. (2019) demonstrated infrared (IR) polariscopy using hyperspectral imaging with a focal plane array (FPA) detector in the IR spectral region under illumination by thermal and synchrotron light sources. They show that the time required for polariscopy at IR wavelengths can be substantially reduced by the FPA-FTIR imaging.

The role of HYPERION: Both the offline FPA-FT-IR experiments and the synchrotron based hyperspectral imaging were performed on the Hyperion enabling the analysis of the targeted sub-wavelength features via polariscopy.

Energy Materials / Metamaterials

Dyachenko et al. report the design and fabrication of a refractory multilayer metamaterial composed of tungsten and hafnium dioxide that exhibits an optical topological transition between epsilon-near-zero and hyperbolic dispersion. This transition allows control over the material’s thermal emission properties at high temperatures, enabling selective tuning of emissivity.

The role of HYPERION: Reflectance spectra were collected in the NIR region to determine the spectral position and strength of optical resonances in the multilayer structure.

Optics / IR Imaging

Stavitski et al. (2013) achieved diffraction-limited spatial resolution by coupling synchrotron infrared (IR) beamlines to focal plane array detectors (FPA), enabling full-field imaging with high chemical sensitivity and rapid acquisition times. Using this approach, they successfully map chemical composition in heterogeneous samples with spatial resolution down to approximately 5 µm.

The role of HYPERION: Equipped with an FPA detector, the HYPERION served as the imaging platform coupled to the synchrotron which was used for the chemical and compositional analysis.

Catalysis / Energy Materials

Cao et al. report using operando synchrotron radiation FT-IR (SR-FT-IR) under working potentials to detect a reversible vibrational absorption band at ~764 cm⁻¹ of an atomically dispersed Ru₁–N₄ catalyst, which they attribute to the adsorption/desorption of an oxygen intermediate (O*), thereby revealing the dynamic involvement of O species at the Ru site during catalysis.

The role of HYPERION: An operando SR-FT-IR setup was used to spatially and spectroscopically interrogate the catalyst under bias, capturing the vibrational signature of O* on the Ru site and supporting direct linkage between intermediate adsorption and catalytic function. 

Catalysis / Energy Materials

In Su et al., the authors design CuO clusters supported on N-doped carbon and show that under applied potential the clusters dynamically reconstruct into Cu₂–CuN₃ species with charge asymmetry, which correlate with high Faradaic efficiency toward C₂⁺ products (notably ethanol). They combine operando XAS, quasi-in situ XPS, and operando FT-IR (with DFT support) to trace structural, electronic, and adsorbate changes in real time.

The role of HYPERION: As part of their operando FTIR setup, it was used to focus the synchrotron-based IR beam into the reaction cell and collect reflectance spectra under applied potentials. These measurements enable tracking of molecular vibrational features and charge-asymmetry signatures linked to the Cu₂–CuN₃ clusters and thus substantiate the structure–activity correlations under working conditions.
