Understanding PiF-IR Spectra
IR PiFM, with its ~5 nm spatial resolution holds tremendous potential for nanoscale chemical analysis. One…
3D Nanoscale Analysis of Polymer Systems
In this note, we will demonstrate the elegance and utility of the technique by analyzing amphiphilic siloxane-polyurethane (AmSi-PU) coatings...
Nanoscale Defect Analysis
As device sizes shrink, it becomes increasingly important to identify nanoscale defects as they directly…
Visualize Nanoscale Absorption in Perovskite Photovoltaic Film using Vis-PiFM
The chemical analysis of solar cell materials is an excellent application of Vis-PiFM. In a…
Bioplastic Nanocomposite – PLA, PiFM and Ecology
With global attention on the role that plastics play in our ecosystem, many researchers are investigating bioplastic alternatives such as polylactic acid.
Agreement Between PiFM and Conventional IR Spectra
PiFM spectra generally replicate conventional IR spectra recorded from bulk samples, shown in this example of polyethersulfone (PES).
Nature Communications Publishes PiFM Image of Polymer Solar Cell (PSC)
A new PiFM application paper showing FTIR spectra, PiFM and PiFM+topography images of a polymer solar cell…
