Infrared nano-imaging and -spectroscopy: methods, applications, and current research
Lauren Mason
Infrared (IR) vibrational scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) has advanced to become a powerful nano-imaging and -spectroscopy technique to probe molecular and lattice vibrations, low-energy electronic excitations and correlations, and related collective surface plasmon, phonon, or other polaritonic resonances. s-SNOM enables the study of complex heterogeneous materials with simultaneous nanoscale spatial resolution and quantum . . .
