## About this tender

Proposed in the project paradigm of 2D chemistry encompasses such a multitude of parameters, that it requires novel characterisation methods, which would allow simultaneous testing of several interdependent parameters. AFM-based nanoscopy, integrated into the reaction chamber with van der Waals micromanipulation platform will provide such beyond-state-of-the-art environment where electrical, elastic, mechanical, optical and chemical properties of novel materials and their heterostructures will be tested simultaneously, exhibiting the complex interdependence of those parameters, leading to novel scientific effects and industrial applications.

The AFM/SNOM system will enable detecting chemical changes with the nanoscale resolution, which is decisive for in-depth understanding of mechanisms and control routes of two-dimensional chemical reactions. In addition, the integration of AFM, Raman and infrared techniques has the potential for the development of new experimental techniques on correlation aspects of Raman and infrared nanoscopy.

The proposed platform must include AFM-based SNOM microscope equipped with FTIR and Raman modules.

Critically, the proposed platform must be fully compatible with argon-filled glovebox to enable operation in an inert environment.
