•      be able to decide what spectroscopy could be applied to nanomaterials
Inhoud
The course aims to provide the student with sufficient background in order to understand spectroscopy from a more fundamental level up to its application to elucidate the intricate chemistry of nanomaterials. This knowledge should enable the student to choose a particular spectroscopic technique for a particular problem and understand the acquired spectroscopic data. Attention will be mainly focused on UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy and x- ray spectroscopy combined with microscopy. The examples under study are organic and inorganic molecules, solids and transition metal ions in biological as well as inorganic matrices. The course consists of 40 h of lectures and 32 h of exercises/tutorials. In addition, there is an excursion to a synchrotron radiation and/or free-electron laser facility planned.
  • Subprogram I focuses on group theory and the general principles of optical spectroscopy. Fluorescence and phosphorescence will also be discussed. Examples under study are organic chromophores and transition metal ions.
  • Subprogram II deals with vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman, EELS) and x-ray spectroscopy, including microscopy.
