Virtual SAS–Coblentz Event to Highlight Diverse Work in Vibrational Spectroscopy
As scientists monitor their fields for ongoing developments, an important aspect is monitoring the work of young scientists who are doing valuable work and who show promise for making important contributions in the future.
An upcoming online event will provide an excellent opportunity to assess the work of 20 current graduate students in vibrational spectroscopy from across the world. The free online seminar, which will be held on March 3 at 12:00 pm noon Eastern time, will be presented jointly by the Coblentz Society, along with the New York–New Jersey and New England sections of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS).
In the event, researchers will each have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their work and its significance. The idea behind this is to provide wide dissemination and exposure of work and stimulate discussion. This will be a one-hour virtual meeting followed by 30 minutes of open discussion.
The event will showcase developments at the leading edge of vibrational spectroscopy and will cover applications of vibrational spectroscopy over a wide range of disciplines.
In addition, the organizers hope that this type of presentation will increase researchers’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills, and their capacity to effectively explain a research topic in three minutes and in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.
The list of students scheduled to present on March 3, and the abstracts of their talks, will be posted on the NY–NJ SAS website. Anyone who wishes to participate may join using this Zoom link.
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.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
