2D materials characterization using nanoscale FTIR spectroscopy and near-field imaging

27 Jun 2023

2D materials are an important emerging field of research due to their unique properties for applications in photovoltaics, semiconductors, battery technology and many other areas. 2D materials have been characterized by multiple nanoscale and microscopy techniques to gain a better understanding of the nature of their properties. In this application note from Bruker, explore how Nanoscale FTIR techniques extend this characterization with critical chemical and optical data at the nanoscale.
