Louvain-la-Neuve
Aims This course not only aims at giving a large introduction to the main instrumental analysis methods of solids but also aims at directing an analysis towards the most appropriate solutions. The emphasis is shed on principles, application ranges, possibilities and limitations of each technique.
Content Content I. Thermal analysis methods: thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermodifferential analysis (TDA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) II. Surface techniques analysis methods and microscopies: X-ray photoelectrons spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Secondary ions mass spectrometry (SIMS). Specific surface measurement (BET). Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) III. X-Ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence IV. X-Ray absorption spectroscopy : EXAFS, XANES and WAXS V. Mössbauer spectroscopy
Other information Background: Molecular symmetry and crystal structures (CHM 1251A) - Fundamentals of molecular spectroscopy (CHM 1251B). Evaluation: oral exam Documents: - Instrumental Methods of Analysis, H.H. Willard, L.L. Merritt Jr. J.A. Dean, F. A. Settle Jr., 7th ed., New York, Wadsworth Publishing Company, 1988.
