Infrared Spectroscopy in Geology

  • 4 November 2024
    12:00 PM
  • The lectures will take place from 4 - 5 November at the Kotlarska campus (lecture room G1 is located in building 3, lecture room G2 in building 11), with the following schedule.

Eugen Libowitzky (University of Vienna​)

Students obtain knowledge about the basics and theoretical background of vibrational spectroscopy, i.e., infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. They apply their knowledge in lab sessions on a number of samples from geology (mineralogy) using a modern infrared spectrometer. Recent applications of vibrational spectroscopy in geology (mineralogy), their pros and cons, are presented and discussed.

4.11. 12:00-13:20 1. Introduction, scales, axes and units, components of IR spectrometers (lecture room G1)
4.11. 13:35-15:00 2. Deduction of rotational and vibrational spectra, types of vibrations (lecture room G1)
5.11. 9:00-10:20 3. Vibrations of 2-, 3,-, 4-, 5-, 7-atomic molecules and of an infinite crystal lattice (lecture room G1)
5.11. 10:35-12:00 4. Characteristic vibrations of common structural units, examples of mineral spectra (lecture room G1)
5.11. 14:00-15:30 5. Quantitative IR spectrosopy: polarized spectra, bond length - frequency correlation, concentration calibration) (lecture room G2)
