Researchers use various techniques to study microstates, including:
Computational Methods: Techniques like density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics simulations provide detailed insights into microstates. Spectroscopy: Methods such as infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) help identify different microstates experimentally. Kinetic Modeling: These models help predict the distribution and behavior of microstates over time.
