Optical Properties of Solid Samples
Webinar Date/Time: Wednesday, June 26th, 2024 at 8am PDT | 11am EDT | 4pm BST | 5pm CEST
This webinar will review detailed studies that demonstrate how to accurately estimate the effects of various physical processes, including thermal treatments, ionizing radiation exposure, optical exposure, and mechanical treatments, on both crystals and thin films. Additionally, the event will cover in-depth guidance on estimating the optical band gap of thin films using the Tauc and Kubelka-Munk methods.

Event Overview:
This webinar aims to comprehensively explore transmittance and reflectance measurements for both transparent and non-transparent crystal and thin film materials. Through detailed studies, it will be demonstrated how to accurately estimate the effects of various physical processes, including thermal treatments, ionizing radiation exposure, optical exposure, and mechanical treatments, on both crystals and thin films. Additionally, this webinar will provide in-depth guidance on estimating the optical band gap of thin films using the Tauc and Kubelka-Munk methods.

The Big Review IV: Hydrocarbons
January 25th 2025In the fourth installment of our review of infrared spectral interpretation, we will discuss the spectroscopy of hydrocarbons. We will look at the stretching and bending vibrations of methyl (CH3) and methylene (CH2) groups, how to distinguish them, and how to know whether one or both of these functional groups are present in a sample. We will also discuss aromatic hydrocarbons, specifically the C-H stretching and bending peaks of mono- and disubstituted benzene rings, and how to distinguish them.
An Inside Look at the Fundamentals and Principles of Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy
January 17th 2025Spectroscopy recently sat down with Isao Noda of the University of Delaware and Young Mee Jung of Kangwon National University to talk about the principles of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) and its key applications.
