Information depth
The information depth of a surface refers to the amount of relevant information available about the outermost layer of a material or object. In various contexts, from scientific research to quality control in production, the information depth of a surface plays a crucial role.
In scientific research, analyzing the depth of information provides detailed insights into the structural, chemical or physical properties of a material at its surface. Techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or infrared spectroscopy are used to increase the depth of information and enable precise characterization of the surface.
