| Abstract | A sensitive spectroscopic technique has been developed by which infrared surface absorptions are detected thermally in a sample cooled to liquid helium temperature. A tiny doped germanium thermometer attached directly to the sample crystal measures the temperature increase resulting from infrared absorption. The assembly is mounted in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber and can be repeatedly cleaned, heated, exposed to chemical reactants, and cooled to 1.5 K for spectral measurements. Preliminary data for various molecules adsorbed on evaporated metal films demonstrate that the technique is a practical means for obtaining sensitive, high resolution vibrational spectra of adsorbed molecules. |
