Abstract :
Summary form only given. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is an established technique for characterization and recognition of inorganic, organic and biological materials by their far-field absorption spectra in the infrared fingerprint region. However, due to the diffraction limit conventional FTIR spectroscopy is unsuitable for measurements with nanoscale spatial resolution.
