Call for Nominations: 2022 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Award
The Atomic Spectroscopy Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) is seeking nominations for the 2022 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Awards. These awards will be given to undergraduate and graduate students who have excelled in the area of atomic spectroscopy.
Selected students will be required to present their work as an oral presentation at SciX 2022, which will be held in Greater Cincinnati, Kentucky, USA, October 2–7.
The 2022 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Awards will come with travel assistance greater than $500 and a two-year SAS membership after graduation.
To apply or recommend a student, please submit the following materials:
- letter of recommendation from the student’s academic advisor
- the student’s current resume/CV
- a scientific abstract for the work he or she will present if selected.
These application documents should be emailed to Derrick Quarles and Ben Manard at atomic.section@s-a-s.org no later than March 1, 2022. Award winners will be notified in April 2022.
Students that submit an application for the award must be current SAS members or register at the time of submission. (Online student membership is $30 USD). Student memberships can be completed online by clicking here, or by phone (+1-301-694-8122).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at: atomic.section@s-a-s.org.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
Researchers Develop Adaptive Gap-Tunable SERS Device
April 24th 2024In a new study, researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology and Pohang University of Science and Technology presented a new surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) device, improving gap plasmon resonance.
