Applications of Surface Analysis with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer

Abstract

  Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer includes a variety of measurement techniques, such as attenuated total reflection (ATR) and reflection absorption spectroscopy (RAS), which are effective for analysis of both surfaces and thin films. In addition, performing ATR together with an infrared microscope enables surface analysis of minute areas. This report introduces thin-film analysis applications, such as the measurement of Fibrinogen monomolecular films using these two techniques.
