3 ECTS credits
90 u studietijd
Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4023283ENR voor alle studenten in het 2e semester met een verdiepend master niveau.
• Quantitative X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy and imaging
• Monte Carlo simulation for XRF
• Complementary information on X-ray interactions with matter (polarisation effects in X-ray scattering, Doppler effect in Compton scattering, X-ray resonant Raman scattering, effects of secondary photoelectrons via impact ionisation and photoelectron bremsstrahlung)
• X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS: XANES, EXAFS) using synchrotron radiation
This course provides a detailed knowledge of the principles of the most important analytical methods based on advanced X-ray induced (micro)spectroscopic techniques which make use of either laboratory or synchrotron radiation sources. The course discusses in detail the principles of chemical/structural analysis on the (sub)microscopic level by X-ray absorption/emission techniques. Special attention is given to the use of synchrotron radiation for trace-element micro- and nano-analysis, absorption (micro)spectroscopy. Throughout the course, examples of applications of the discussed techniques will be given in the field of materials science, geochemistry and environmental science.
