Instrument Improves IR Spectroscopy by Factor of 100

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN SEBASTIÁN, Spain, May 11, 2011 — A novel instrument records infrared spectra using a thermal source to gain a resolution 100 times better than conventional IR spectroscopy. The technique could be used to analyze the chemical compositions and structures of nanoscale materials in polymer composites, semiconductor devices, minerals or biological tissue. An IR spectrum commonly is used as a material’s “fingerprint,” and IR spectroscopy thus has become an important tool for characterizing and identifying materials. However, with conventional optical instruments such as Fourier-transform IR spectrometers,...Read full article
