Aims of the course |
To familiarize students with the basics of
spectroscopy in order to its application in spectroscopic qualitative and
quantitative analysis, plasma diagnostics, etc. . |
Learning outcomes |
The adoption of the basic concepts related to
the use of spectroscopy and spectroscopic apparatus for qualitative and
quantitative analysis of samples, determining the composition of the plasma,
electron concentration and plasma temperature. Acquiring the basics necessary
for processing spectra, fitting the profile of the spectral lines, finding
the basic characteristics of the line with the aim of determining the
characteristics of samples. Preparing students for the practical use of
spectroscopy to study the physical and chemical processes. |
