Abstract
Absorption spectroscopy and mapping from visible through mid-IR wavelengths has been achieved with spatial resolution exceeding the limit imposed by diffraction, via the photothermal induced resonance technique. Correlated vibrational (chemical), and electronic properties are obtained simultaneously with topography with a wavelength-independent resolution of ≈ 20 nm using a single laboratory-scale instrument. This marks the highest resolution reported for PTIR, as determined by comparing height and PTIR images, and its first extension to near-IR and visible wavelengths.
