Atomic force microscopy-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) is a rapidly emerging
technique that provides chemical analysis and compositional mapping with spatial …

Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful tool widely used in research and industry for a label-free
and unambiguous identification of molecular species. Inconveniently, its application to …

The advent of nanotechnology, and the need to understand the chemical composition at the
nanoscale, has stimulated the convergence of IR and Raman spectroscopy with scanning …

The folding and acquisition of proteins native structure is central to all biological processes
of life. By contrast, protein misfolding can lead to toxic amyloid aggregates formation, linked …

Advances in technology now enable infrared and Raman vibrational spectroscopic imaging
with resolution on the molecular scale. A number of techniques have emerged that provide …

At the beginning of the 1980s, the first reports of surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy
(SEIRS) surfaced. Probably due to signal-enhancement factors of only 101 to 103, which are …

Engineering of the optical resonances in plasmonic resonator arrays is achieved by virtue of
the intrinsic properties of the constituent structures such as composition, size, and shape …

Infrared techniques enable nondestructive and label-free studies of thin films with high
chemical and structural contrast. In this work, we review recent progress and perspectives in …

Atomic force microscopy coupled with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) was combined with
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the tridimensional lamella assembly and …

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals extensively applied as optoelectronic
devices, sensors and fluorescent probes for (bio) molecular species. Silver chalcogenides …
