Research Group: Infrared Spectroscopy by Synchrotron Radiation
OOverview of Research Group, Goals and Purposes: Infrared spectroscopy is an important technique that is widely used to identify chemical species though vibrational modes of organic and inorganic compounds. It also provides information about electronic structures through low energy excitation. Infrared synchrotron radiation (IRSR) has advantages of high brilliance and polarization property in wide wavenumber range including mid and far infrared region. At SPring-8, such advantageous IRSR can be used for infrared spectroscopy. The infrared spectroscopy with IRSR can also be complementarily used with other experimental techniques performed in SPring-8, and users can take a multifaceted approach to their studies. The high brilliant IRSR is suited as a source of infrared microspectroscopy. At BL43IR, most of the users conduct the infrared microspecotrscopy measurement. Infrared near field microspectroscopy apparatus is also developed and achieves a spatial resolution of several hundred nanometers.We organize our research group in order to share the most advanced technical information about BL43IR among the members, and send the information through cooperation with other SPRUC research groups. Our research group consists of members in various research areas such as solid stated physics, chemistry, earth science, archaeology, medical science, polymer science, and so on. We aim at exploring a new scientific field by effective use of IRSR and cooperation with other SPRUC research groups. |
