“Surface‐Enhanced Infrared Absorption: Mechanism and Applications”
Since the first report of surface-enhanced Infrared absorption (SEIRA) by Hartstein et al. in 1980, many practitioners have
attributed the enhancement to a similar mechanism to the electromagnetic mechanism of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this talk I will attempt to summarize several of the theories that ascribe SEIRA both to
plasmonic and non-plasmonic mechanisms. The observation that SEIRA enhancements are very similar for all metals and that the bandshapes in SEIRA spectra become distorted when the percolation limit is exceeded mitigate strongly against a plasmonic mechanism. In practice, SEIRA spectra can be accurately modeled using the appropriate form of effective medium theory. Several applications of SEIRA that have been developed in the speaker’s lab and those of others will be described at the end of this talk.
