Methods of IR Spectroscopy for Surfaces and Thin Films

  • Chapter
Surface Science Techniques

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Surface Sciences ((SSSUR,volume 51))

Abstract

The basic principles and experimental methods for application of infrared vibrational spectroscopy applied to characterization of surfaces and thin films are reviewed. The emphasis is on how the fundamental principles of electromagnetic radiation at interfaces dictate the experimental setups and underlie the strategies for making quantitative interpretations of the data. The discussion is directed to a broad range of applications from ultrahigh vacuum studies to the liquid/solid interface.
