What Techniques Are Used to Study Optical Properties at the Nanoscale?
Several advanced techniques are employed to study the optical properties of nanomaterials, including:
Spectroscopy: Techniques like UV-Vis, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy provide information about the absorption, emission, and vibrational states of nanomaterials. Electron Microscopy: High-resolution imaging techniques like TEM and SEM help visualize the size, shape, and distribution of nanomaterials. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM provides topographical maps and can also measure optical properties through techniques like photothermal AFM.
