Several types of absorption spectroscopy are commonly used in nanotechnology research:
UV-Vis Spectroscopy: Utilizes ultraviolet and visible light to investigate electronic transitions in nanomaterials. Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy: Uses infrared light to study vibrational transitions, providing information about molecular bonding and structure. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS): Employs X-rays to probe the local electronic structure and chemical environment of atoms in nanomaterials.
