Abstract

Polarization modulated IRRAS is a new differential method of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, used to investigate ultrathin films. Spectra of a single L.B. monolayer of cadmium arachidate and of a 100 Å thick polymer film are presented in order to illustrate the main advantages of this method: high surface sensitivity, perfect environmental signal rejection and easy to get conformational information on surface molecules.
