IR spectroscopy, or infrared spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to identify and study chemical substances based on their interaction with infrared radiation. It measures the absorption of ...

As much as we know today about the planets of the solar system, it’s almost incomprehensible that a mere 50 years ago we knew almost nothing about them. Observations of even Mars and Venus, Earth’s ...

The reactivities of various fatty monoacids and diacids on copper metal-containing surfaces were investigated through reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy. The formation of copper carboxylates ...

Bio-functionalized chalcogenide infrared optical glass fibers have been designed for evanescent wave mid-infrared spectroscopy. Surface biotinylation of the fiber tapered sensing zone has been ...

Vibrational spectroscopy is a high-performance analytical technique commonly used in chemistry, materials science, biology, and environmental research. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is the most ...

Water and the bad smelling molecule hydrogen sulfide do not seem to have a lot in common at first sight. However, when investing a little energy, some differences disappear. The experimental research ...

PiFM and PiF-IR are the next generation of infrared spectroscopy techniques. PiFM brought a major shift to atomic force microscopy by adding chemical mapping capabilities. PiF-IR, its sister technique ...

This paper explores the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy in regard to unknown material identification and reaction monitoring. While these techniques share ...

Our understanding of the world relies greatly on our knowledge of its constituent materials and their interactions. Recent advances in materials science technologies have ratcheted up our ability to ...

All fibers were analyzed directly without additional modification or sampling accessories. The O-PTIR spectra resemble transmission-like IR spectra in non-contact (far-field) mode. Through spatially ...

Bruker Optics announces the launch of the MOBILE-IR II – a portable, battery-powered Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer that delivers the high spectral performance of a laboratory ...

This article introduces the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy for identifying unknown materials and monitoring reactions. While the techniques are pretty similar, ...
