Course Description
Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical technique and is used in many different fields where, microscopic, chemical analysis and imaging is needed. Raman analysis can provide both qualitative and/or quantitative information easily and quickly. It can be used to characterise the chemical composition and structure of the samples regardless of its physical satate, solid, powder, liquid, gas or slurry. Molybdenum and molybdenum-based materials have favorable properties such as good erosion-resistance, excellent thermal and electrical conductivities, high yielding strength and hardness at high temperatures. They are extensively used in various fields including agriculture, energy, military, chemical engineering, bio-medicine and electronics. Due to their unique electronic, optical and mechanical properties, molybdenum-based materials have potential applications in nano devices and functional materials. This course is designed to give information both on various usage of molybdenum and to provide practice and knowledge on Raman spectroscopy and its diverse range of applications.
The training wil be in Arabic.
