Tips & Tricks When Combining Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
and QCM-D
[RECORDED WEBINAR]
Learn something new! Lots of practical advice tailored for QCM-D/SE users and those interested in the combinatorial technique.
When it comes to quantifying adsorption, desorption, or surface reactions at the solid-liquid interface, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) are kindred spirits. Both are real-time, label-free techniques. Both can report the thickness of adsorbate layers. But by using these two techniques together, one is able to learn about the swelling of a solvated adsorbate layer. Numerous systems including polymeric films, proteins, nucleic acids, nanoparticles, and surfactants have been studied with this combinatorial approach.
Most effort for a QCM-D/SE experiment is done before the data acquisition even starts, and at least three SE measurements should be taken as the experimental setup is being assembled.
