Surface analysis

Analyte

• Thin organic or inorganic layers in the thickness range of some tenths of a nanometre up to several hundred nanometres

Equipment

• Optrel multiscope

Evaluation methods and targets

• Product of thickness and refractive index
• If refractive index of adsorbed material is known: thickness of the adsorbed layer

Application examples

• Thickness determination of thin and ultra-thin polymer layers
• Stepwise monitoring of the build-up of a multilayer system

Comparative and additional methods

• Surface plasmon resonance
  
• Atomic force microscopy
