Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4023284DNR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een inleidend master niveau.
XRF/XAS
ICP-MS
Surface Analysis
Introduction to the principles of various (synchrotron) X-ray excitation based spectroscopic, mass spectrometers, ICP-mass spectrometry and micro/nano-imaging and surface analysis techniques and their application in the fields of analytical chemistry, geo- and environmental science and materials chemistry. The appearance and origin of spectral and non-spectral interferences is covered and approaches for overcoming the bias thus introduced are discussed.
This course aims at understanding the principles of these techniques together with their capacities in various types of applications. The modules (1) XRF/XAS, (2) ICP-MS and (3) surface analysis are accessible as Advanced Topics in Chemistry.
