After successful completion of the course, students are able to interprete vibrational spectra in acorrect way, to assign vibrational bands correctly and to plan vibrational spectroscopic experiments.
Basics: poit group symmetry, group theory, band assignment, rotational vibrational transitions, Fresnel equations, reflexion and diffraction, Kramers-Kronig Transformation, Kubelka-Munk theory, evanescent fields, Rama effect, surface plasmons
Instrumentation: step-scan FT-IR, IR lasers, NIR spectrometers, FT Raman and dispersive Raman spectrometers, low-temperature applications
Measurement techniques: transmission (solids/liquids/gas), open-path, stand-off, diffusive and directed external reflection, photoacoustic, IR microscopy and imaging, surface enhanced Raman scattering, Raman microscopy and imaging,matrixisolation, gas phase analysis.
Using examples of fundamental chemical research and industrial applications the most relevant data analysis techniques (PLS, MCR-ALS, 2DCOS,¿) shall be exemplified.
