Practical Work Interaction of Radiation with Matter
Report
Pratical work about interaction of radiation with matter happens in first year. It focuses on characterization techniques of matter mobilizing knowledge either in crystallography, for the study of any crystallized material, or in spectroscopy based on dipolar electric interactions as well as dipolar magnetic ones, by covering a large range of energy from microwave to visible radiation.
The experimental techniques examined in depth are : X-ray diffraction, electron paramagnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, molecular emission, UV-visible absorption, laser oscillation.
This practical teaching emphasizes the importance of the operating principles of any experimental techniques on measurement, and applies skills in crystallography-X ray diffraction, interaction of radiation with matter and applied mathematics.
From this practical work, the student will be able to:
– optimize acquisition parameters by considering resolution and signal to noise ratio, in accordance with the signal processing embedded in a measuring equipment
– apply a systematic method of structural analysis, notably by the use of Fullprof software
– identify and classify the nature of electronic transition on a spectrum as a function of energy
– criticize a physical model depending on used hypotheses
