How much heat do you apply in a localized region due to nanoIR measurements?
The heat we produce is a tradeoff between signal to noise and eliminating sample damage. The IR source itself is powerful enough such that it can melt polymer materials at full power. So we turn down the power to reduce the chance of any sample damage. The simultaneous mechanical stiffness measurement lets us ensure the temperature doesn’t rise high enough that mechanical changes occur.
