Goals
Familiarize with different types and principles of operation of analyzers and detector systems for high energy resolution x-ray spectroscopy. Learn theoretical and methodological concepts of photon- in/photon-out x-ray spectroscopic methods. Utilize the high resolution x-ray detection systems and apply the spectroscopy to characterize the electronic structure of particular material.
Curriculum
The course deals with detector systems for measurements of fluorescent or scattered x-ray photons with energy resolution on the level of core-hole lifetime broadening.
- Bragg crystal analyzers in different focusing geometries (Johann, Johansson, VonHamos)
- Photon-in/photon-out x-ray spectroscopic techniques (resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, x- ray Raman scattering).
- Application of these spectroscopic methods to analyze the electronic structure of bulk materials using synchrotron radiation.
- Case analytical studies from the field of new (nano)materials, chemical research, and catalysis, which are driven by the high experimental resolution and compatibility of hard x-rays with in-situ conditions.
Obligations
Completed second cycle studies in natural sciences or engineering or completed second cycle studies in other fields with proven knowledge of fundamentals in the field of this course (certificates, interview).Examination
