Introduction to AFM-IR

The invention of the AFM-IR technique, the ability to measure IR spectra on the lateral length scale of several nanometers, occurred in 2010. Only 4 years later, the inventor, Alexander Dazzi, was awarded the Ernst Abbe award for his invention and the technique has been rapidly commercialized. This talk will provide a basic overview of the AFM-IR technique including capabilities, limitations and a few example applications from work performed by Penn State researchers.
