The Charles Mann Award for Applied Raman Spectroscopy will be presented to Karen Faulds on Tuesday, October 15, at the SciX 2019 conference in Palm Springs, California. Faulds is a professor in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland). She is also the head of Bionanotechnology and Analytical Chemistry at the university.
Faulds’s area of expertise is in the development of Raman and surface-enhanced Raman scattering for novel analytical detection strategies, and in particular, multiplexed bioanalytical applications. She has published more than 130 works and holds five patents. Her research group’s work has been recognized with the Nexxus Award (2009), the RSC Joseph Black Award (2013), and the Craver Award (2016). She was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2012), a Fellow of the Society of Applied Spectroscopy (2017), and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (2018), and she he has given over 70 invited talks at national and international conferences located in Thailand, Japan, China, Russia, India, Canada, and the United States.
The Charles Mann Award for Applied Raman Spectroscopy is given to an individual who has demonstrated advancements at a conference presented by the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) in the field of applied Raman spectroscopy or has demonstrated dedication to the advancement of the Raman spectroscopy program at a conference presented by FACSS and the American Society for Testing and Materials Raman subcommittee.

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.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
