Course detail

Spectroscopic methods

FCH-DCO_SMAcad. year: 2011/2012

The cours gives a complete overview about spectroscopic methods using electromagnetic radiation and interaction of heavz particles with materials. The construction of spectrometers, light and particle sources, detectors and accessories will be given, too. Finally, the overview of methods actually used in chemistry will be given including the methods that will be introduced into the chemistry in near future.
