The Eighth International Conference on Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS 2014) will be held at Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) from September 8-12, 2014.
The Eighth International Conference on Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS 2014) will be held at Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) from September 8-12, 2014. The conference is organized by the Chinese LIBS community, hosted by the Department of Thermal Engineering at Tsinghua University and supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
As in previous international LIBS conferences, LIBS 2014 will provide a platform for scientists and researchers in the field, engineers from industry, and graduate students to exchange ideas, experiences, and achievements in the research, development, and applications of LIBS.
The conference will feature invited speakers, oral and poster presentations, and a technical exhibition of recent developments in LIBS instruments and related products. LIBS experts from around the world will be invited to deliver short courses before the opening of the conference.
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.
