What Does FTR Stand For?
FTR stands for Frustrated Total Reflection
FTR, or Frustrated Total Reflection, is a surface-sensitive optical technique used to study thin films and interfaces. It involves the interaction of light with materials at an angle such that total internal reflection occurs, but is altered by the presence of a thin layer or surface features. This method allows for the characterization of surface properties and thin film structures with high sensitivity, making it valuable in fields such as materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology.
