Abstract

Micro-roughness drives wax retention, not just chemistry, reshaping our understanding of ski performance. Multi-modal spectroscopy (FTIR, EDX, Raman) maps wax distribution at unprecedented resolution, detecting fluorine down to [0.5 at%]. Portable infrared spectrometer used by the FIS provides high sensitivity, detecting fluorine concentrations well below 1% atomic.
