Grazing angle mirror-backed reflection (GMBR) for infrared analysis of monolayers on silicon

J Phys Chem B. 2006 Sep 14;110(36):17702-5. doi: 10.1021/jp063467q.

Abstract

An easy handling infrared measurement, grazing angle mirror-backed reflection (GMBR), has been established to analyze the silicon-based organic monolayer. Theoretical prediction gave the optimal configuration with p-polarized irradiation near a grazing angle 78.1 degrees of incidence. Experimental measurement of hydrogen-terminated, undecylenic acid (UA) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) functionalized silicon (111) surfaces showed good signal peaks and reproducibility.
