Infrared nanopolarimetric analysis of structure and anisotropy of thin films — •Karsten Hinrichs and Timur Shaykhutdinov — Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften - ISAS e.V., Schwarzschildstr. 8, 12489 Berlin, Germany

IR spectroscopic techniques can deliver simultaneously high chemical and structural contrast, be coupled with optical models and numerical calculations and typically are non-destructive and label-free. In this contribution recent progress and perspectives in IR spectroscopic nanopolarimetric analysis (30 nm resolution) using an extended version of a photothermal IR nanoscopy (AFM-IR) technique are presented. In particular, several highly sensitive polarization dependent nanoscale studies of anisotropic thin film materials, as polymer, protein and polaritonic films as well as supramolecular aggregates are discussed.[1-4]
