Lesson hours
48 lesson hours
Prerequisites
Basic topics on quantum theory and solid state
Learning outcomes
The course aims at providing a wide presentation the some spectroscopic techniques for the investigation of the solid state , with particular reference to techniques concerning advanced materials.
Course contents
Two course is split into two parts.
The first parts introduces some basic topics such as radiation/matter interactions, Fermi golden rule, selection rules, vibrations of solids, phonons.
The second part describes the main spectroscopic techniques for investigating electronic and atomic structure of solids, with particular attention to methods based on the use of synchrotron radiation: XAFS (EXAFS, XANES, ReflEXAFS, SEXAFS), XES, XMCD ed LMCD.
