Call for Papers
Spectroscopy invites researchers to submit their work for publication.
Readers interested in sharing the results of their research with more than 27,000 other spectroscopists are encouraged to submit manuscripts for review and possible publication.
Spectroscopy publishes articles dealing with practical applications of modern spectroscopic techniques and instrumentation. Contributed manuscripts commonly address any of the following topics:
- emerging techniques
- new applications of spectroscopic instrumentation
- current trends in hot research areas
- improved methods for common applications
- data-handling strategies
- solutions to sample-handling problems.
The full range of atomic spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry techniques is suitable for coverage in Spectroscopy.
Manuscript Preparation
Manuscripts for regular issues should be approximately 3500–4500 words long, plus figures and tables as needed, including an abstract of approximately 150–200 words. Figures and tables, along with their captions, should appear at the end of the manuscript, and figures also must be sent as separate files, preferably in JPG, TIF, PNG, or XLS format.
References. Number the literature citations in the text consecutively in order of appearance and indicate them by Arabic numerals in parentheses. Number each reference separately. Group the references at the end of the manuscript in the order of their appearance in the text, not alphabetically.
Use Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index for journal abbreviations. Use the following format for references:
(1) R. Salzer and H.W. Siesler, Infrared and Raman Spectroscopic Imaging (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2009), pp. 90–103.
(2) P. Matousek, Appl. Spectrosc. 60, 1341 (2006).

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.
