Cross- correlated SPM and TERS/TEPL characterization: A mandatory technique for proper characterization of 2D semiconductors

May 22, 2024 @ 9 AM - 1 PM

Ryan Hall #4003 - Evanston Campus

Lunch will be provided. Demos will be at 1 PM.

Join us for an immersive exploration into the cutting-edge world of Raman-TERS technology! The Northwestern University Atomic and Nanoscale Characterization Experimental Center (NUANCE) is proud to announce a collaborative workshop with Horiba Inc. focused on the latest advancements in Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS).

Raman-TERS is revolutionizing nanoscale chemical analysis and imaging, offering unprecedented insights into materials ranging from 2D structures to biological specimens. This workshop aims to showcase the diverse applications of Raman-TERS across various fields including 2D materials, polymers, thin films, perovskites, and biological samples.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from leading experts in the field, explore real-world case studies, and discover how Raman-TERS can accelerate their research endeavors. Moreover, the workshop will highlight the state-of-the-art capabilities available at NUANCE SHyNE facilities, empowering researchers to harness the full potential of this transformative technology.

Following the seminars, attendees will have the chance to network over lunch and participate in hands-on demonstrations of TERS systems at the NUANCE center. This interactive session will provide valuable insights into the practical implementation of Raman-TERS techniques and offer a deeper understanding of its capabilities.
