Spatiospectral nanoimaging of surface phonon plasmons

Bruker Nano Surfaces and Metrology
27 Jun 2023

With their high spatial confinement, surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) in 2D materials can open up new opportunities to enhance light-matter interaction and enable the development of super lenses, subwavelength metamaterials, and other novel photonic devices. In-situ characterization of these polaritonic excitations across different applications requires a versatile optical imaging and spectroscopy tool with nanometer spatial resolution and wide spectral coverage. In this application note from Bruker, explore how through a noninvasive near-field light-matter interaction, scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) provides a unique way to selectively excite and locally detect electronic and vibrational resonances in real space.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Applications of nanotechnology include medicine and medical devices, electronics, air and water purification, food science and energy production.Surface Area TestingPhysisorption studies fundamental parameters essential for the characterization of materials such as the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Properties such as porosity, strength, hardness, permeability, separation selectivity, corrosion, and thermal stress resistance can all be directly correlated to the porous structure of a material.Surface Analysis2D Materials
