Microscopy of molecular adsorption (A03)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project applies a combination of attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and sum-frequency generation microscopy to investigate the basic structural and dynamic processes, which are essential for steering the growth of particles and tailoring their shape by the direct observation of the interphases involved. With the SFG microscope setup now operational, we will move forward to study the interplay between adsorbates and surfaces during the formation and degradation of crystalline structures. Spectral characteristics of additive-dependent crystal shapes will be analyzed by ATR-FTIR.
