Call for Nominations: 2017 Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy
magazine is seeking nominations for a new award, the Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award. The
Spectroscopy
Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award recognizes the achievements and aspirations of a talented young atomic spectroscopist who has made strides early in his or her career toward the advancement of atomic spectroscopy techniques and applications. The winner must be within 10 years of receiving his or her highest academic degree in the year the award is granted. The award, which includes a crystal award and a certificate, will be presented in a plenary session at the 2017 European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry (February 19–24, 2017). The winner will also be featured in an article in a print issue of
Spectroscopy
and in an interview that will be published in our electronic newsletter and on the
Spectroscopy
website.

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.
