Our Facilities
Utilizing the simultaneous AFM and Raman scanning, an apertureless near-field scanning Raman microscope was constructed with an apertureless near-field scanning Raman microscope.

The system was constructed by utilizing metal coating of the AFM tips to produce near field Raman signal. Our preliminary data show that it is easible to collect good quality AFM and Raman images in a reasonable time frame. This system will be used to study a host of nano materials and nano devices.
