Plasmonic metal nanostructures offer an ideal platform for manipulation of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is caused by light interacting with ...

Optical microscopes or probe stations can benefit from adding spectroscopy and digital color imaging with the 508PV TM microscope spectrophotometer. The 508PV™ can also be used to upgrade older ...

Auger electron spectroscopy is a well-established surface-sensitive technique. It has been mostly used for the identification of species on sample surfaces, especially to monitor the process of sample ...

How do photosynthetic organisms harvest light so efficiently? To help answer this question, researchers have developed an ultrafast transient absorption microscope with sensitivity approaching the ...

The main focus of my group is to study catalytic surface reactions on heterogeneous catalysts via a three-fold approach, employing surface science based planar model catalysts, atomically-precise ...

There are obvious differences between cancerous cells and normal cells in morphology, chemical properties and mechanical properties. The detection of cytochemical and mechanical properties of tumor ...

Huge strides have been made over recent years concerning scanning electron microscopes (SEMs and EPMAs), especially when observing and chemically analyzing materials across various fields of interest, ...

Since the middle of 20(th) century infrared (IR) spectroscopy coupled to microscopy (IR microspectroscopy) has been recognized as a non destructive, label free, highly sensitive and specific ...

Manipulating nanoscale light in scanning tunneling microscope junctions is attained by nanofabrication of gold tips using a focused ion beam technique. Researchers at Fritz-Haber Institute, Berlin, ...
