In this webinar, we illustrate the capabilities of the photothermal AFM-IR technique using Bruker’s Dimension IconIR platform. Highlights include:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a multiparametric imaging technique that characterizes the nanomechanical properties of advanced materials. Nanoscale IR spectroscopy identifies and quantifies the chemical composition and structure of materials. Combining these techniques in photothermal AFM-IR spectroscopy enables the multimodal analysis and correlation of nanoscale mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties.
The photothermal AFM-IR technique was first developed by Alexandre Dazzi in 2005 and the first commercial nanoIR system became available in 2010. Since then, significant advances have been made in the IR laser sources, system designs, and operating modes that have led to improved detection sensitivity, lateral resolution, measurement speeds, and correction for mechanical artifacts.
The IconIR platform encompasses these cutting-edge advances to deliver industry-best capabilities, outstanding performance, and AFM-IR measurements that continue to deliver novel, previously inaccessible insights into material properties.
