The MRSEC Facilities Network is a nationwide partnership of NSF supported MRSEC centers designed to provide support to researchers in the broad area of Materials Research in academic, government and industrial laboratories around the world.
Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR)
Description
FTIR spectroscopy is used for structural characterization of organic and inorganic molecules in solids,
liquids, gases, and on surfaces. Qualitative and quantitative information about the molecule may be obtained.
