“…This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2023 due to the spectral mapping ability of the technique with a spatial resolution that goes below the single crystal size, in contrast to conventional ensemble measurements such as UV-Vis, IR, Raman spectroscopy, NMR, X-ray diffraction, and other imaging methods that have the spatial resolution but not the spectral information such as AFM and TEM. 42 Other spectral mapping based on scanning microscopy methods, such as infrared scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR-s-SNOM) 43,44 and tipenhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), may be an alternative tool. 45 We found that each blue structure undergoes a unique path to diverse types of red structure, where a pattern, e.g., a certain blue structure prefers to transform into a certain red structure, was detected.…”
