Lecture Solid State Spectroscopy

(1) Basics for spectroscopy
Electromagnetic radiation, Black-body radiation, Maxell’s theory, Hertzian dipole, periodic function, Dirac-delta function, Gaussian, Lorentzian, convolution, auto-correlation, Fourier transform, distribution function, wavevector, de-Broglie particle

(2) Raman spectroscopy
Harmonic oscillator, Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution law, polarizability tensor and origin of Raman effect, Stokes and anti-Stokes, symmetry and selection rules, depolarization ratio, instrumentation and experiments, temperature/pressure-dependent Raman, phonon decay.

(3) Infrared spectroscopy:
IR activity, dipole induced radiation, interferometers, interferograms, fundamentals, overtones and combinations, Fermi resonance, Darling-Dennison resonance, transmission FTIR, DRIFTS, ATR, FIR, MIR, NIR, usages of FTIR.

(4) UV-Vis spectroscopy:
Band structure, electronic transition, direct and indirect bandgaps, Franck-Condon effect, absorption, reflectance, Kramers-Kronig relations, Kubelka-Monk approximation, Tauc’s method, DASF method, size- and temperature-dependent bandgaps.

(5) Solid state NMR:
Nuclear spin, Boltzmann distribution, gyromagnetic ratio, Zeeman effect, Larmor frequency, MAS NMR, chemical shift anisotropy, MAS NMR of quadrupolar nuclei, MQ-MAS NMR.

6) Neutron spectroscopy:
Optical silent modes and other limitations at in-house facilities, neutron sources and detection, neutron cross-section, inelastic and quasi-elastic neutron scatterings, coherent and incoherent neutron scatterings, phonon dispersion, phonon density of states.

7) X-ray and electron spectroscopy:
Introduction to Resonant Inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS), and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS)

After attending the course the participants shall have the following skills:
- know and properly use basic terminology of solid state spectroscopy, and its applications
- know how to meet the complementary spectroscopic technique to resolve a bulk/local physico-chemical phenomena of a given condensed matter- know how to correlate the spectral information to the bulk analysis such as X-ray/neutron elastic scatting.
