Near-Field Microscopy

Part of our expertise has been built through scientific collaborations and our projects include...

  • Conjugated polymers
  • Semiconductor nanocrystals
  • Metal nanocrystals.
    • Developed of an apertureless Near-Field Optical Microscope (SNOM) based on a Kretchman configuration used to evidence coupled optical modes between tip and metal surface.
    • Developed an original approach where nanocrystals were deposited on a photosensitive film illuminated with a laser and induced surface modulations were analyzed afterwards by Atomic Force Microscopy, allowing the observation of dipolar radiation of nanoparticle island recorded in the polymer matrix.
