Terahertz Spectroscopy:
|
- General Introduction about Vibrational spectroscopy in the far IR
- Setup of a tetrahertz spectrometer, comparison with a conventional FT far IR spectrometer setup.
- Instrument setup in transmission, reflection and ATR
- Application of tetrahertz pulsed spectroscopy (TPS) to study the crystalline state, polymorphism, amorphous state
- Application of TPS to study different hydrate forms
- Application of TDS in kinetic studies
- Application of TPS for low temperature spectroscopy
- Setup of a terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) system
- Application of TPI for coating thickness and quality analysis
- Application of TPI to non destructively investigate buried structures in tablets.
