Surface-enhanced optical-mid-infrared photothermal microscopy using shortened colloidal silver nanowires: a noble approach for mid-infrared surface sensing†
We propose surface-enhanced optical-mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) microscopy using highly crystalline silver nanowires, acting as a Fabry–Perot resonator, and demonstrate its applicability to enhanced mid-infrared surface sensing of thin polymer layers as thin as 20 nm.
期刊介绍:
Nanoscale Horizons stands out as a premier journal for publishing exceptionally high-quality and innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology. The emphasis lies on original research that introduces a new concept or a novel perspective (a conceptual advance), prioritizing this over reporting technological improvements. Nevertheless, outstanding articles showcasing truly groundbreaking developments, including record-breaking performance, may also find a place in the journal. Published work must be of substantial general interest to our broad and diverse readership across the nanoscience and nanotechnology community.
