Infrared Synchrotron Mapping Ellipsometry of biomolecular thin films — •Dana Maria Rosu1, Ullrich Schade2, Norbert Esser1, and Karsten Hinrichs1 — 1ISAS- Institute for Analytical Sciences, Department Interface Spectroscopy, Albert-Einstein-Str. 9, 12489 Berlin, Germany — 2BESSY GmbH, Albert-Einstein-Str. 15, 12489 Berlin, Germany
The IR synchrotron ellipsometer at BESSY II, for the mid infrared range, enables investigation of samples with monolayer sensitivity and a lateral resolution below 1 mm2. Being equipped with a mapping table [1], the set-up allows the investigation of heterogeneous organic thin films. In cooperation with Sentech Instruments the IR synchrotron mapping ellipsometer was upgraded with a rotating retarder. In the recent years IR ellipsometry has been applied for structural analysis of thin organic films [2]. Results from mapping ellipsometry of biosensors [3] and molecular monolayers, with thicknesses between 2 nm and 100 nm, will be presented. Evaluation of measured spectra with optical models gives informations about thickness, homogeneity and orientation of the molecules on the substrates.
