In case of analyzing aqueous samples, pouring shallow amount over the surface of the crystal is sufficient. Since trace amounts are used to analyze, absorption by the aqueous solvent is not a problem.
(e)
Interpretation:
The principles of the new method to obtain a depth profile of a sample surface using ATR spectroscopy should be described.
Concept introduction:
In ATR spectroscopy through the ATR crystal, an infrared beam is passed such that it reflects off the internal surface at least once when in contact with the sample. This reflection results in an evanescent wave which goes into the sample. The penetration depth is determined by the wavelength of IR beam, angle of incidence, refractive indexes of sample and the crystal.
Explanation of Solution
A new depth profiling method using multiple-angle ATR/FT-IR spectroscopy has been developed.
First, a profile frequency is defined then the stratified medium is defined. Matrix A is generated from interpolated absorptances and matrix E is generated from estimated mean square electric fields. Linear equations of absorptance by SVD method is solved and the first estimated refractive index profile from matrix X is calculated. Nonlinear fittings of the reflectances are determined by Levenberg-Marquadt method. Finally, complex refractive index profile is obtained.
