Track 01: Mass Spectrometry

It is a powerful analytical technique which is used to quantify the known materials, to identify unknown compounds within a sample, and also to elucidate the chemical and structural properties of different molecules. This process involves the conversion of sample into gaseous ions, without or with fragmentation and then characterize is done by the mass to charge ratios (m/z) and relative abundances.

Track 02: Analytical Chemistry

The quantification, separation, and identification of chemical compounds are done by Analytical Chemistry. The chemical analyses can be quantitative or qualitative, quantitative as in determining the amount of a certain component in the sample and qualitative as in the identification of the chemical components.

Track 03: Raman Spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy is one of the most famous Spectroscopy methods in this field, it is a spectroscopic technique used to observe rotational, vibrational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. A structural fingerprint by which molecules can be identified is done by this technique.

Track 04: Astronomical Spectroscopy

It is chiefly concerned with the analysis of objects in space. From a simple spectroscopic analysis of a body, we can determine their wavelength, which can then give us their chemical composition (as a factor of their spectra and mass), temperature, distance and speed (using a function of their wavelength and the speed of light).

Track 05: Infrared Spectroscopy

The study of infrared light interacting with a molecule is Infrared Spectroscopy. This can be analyzed by measuring absorption, emission, and reflection. The technique is applied in organic and inorganic chemistry. The functional groups are determined in molecules and measures the vibrations of atoms and based on this, it is possible to define the functional groups of these elements.

Track 06: Atomic Spectroscopy

The technique uses basically the principle that free atoms (gas) generated in an atomizer can absorb radiation at the precise frequency. Atomic-absorption spectroscopy calculates the absorption of ground state atoms in the gaseous state.

Track 07: UV Spectroscopy

Ultraviolet and visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy is the measurement of the attenuation of a beam of light after it passes through a sample or after reflection from a sample surface. Absorption measurements can be at a single wavelength or over an extended spectral range.

Track 08: Luminescence Spectroscopy

The emission of light by a substance is Luminescence. The technique which studies on such chemical systems is Luminescence Spectroscopy. When an electron returns to the electronic ground state from an excited it loses the excess energy as a photon. Luminescence spectroscopy is a collective name given to three related spectroscopic techniques. They are:

 Molecular fluorescence spectroscopy
 Molecular phosphorescence spectroscopy
 Chemiluminescence Spectroscopy

Track 09: X-Ray Spectroscopy

There are different ways in which X-rays can be employed. Absorption of X-rays is about absorbing the material in other regions of the spectrum. Fluorescence emission of X-rays enables to identify and measure heavy elements in any medium.

This is where spectroscopic characterization techniques are used to investigate the properties of the nanomaterials.

Track 22: Separation Techniques

The individual substances in a mixture can be separated using different methods, depending on the type of mixture. These methods include filtration, evaporation, distillation, and chromatography. Identify an appropriate separation technique to separate a mixture based on the physical properties of the components of the mixture.

Track 23: Computed Tomography

Computed tomography (CT) is an imaging procedure that uses special x-ray equipment to create detailed pictures, or scans, of areas inside the body. It is also called computerized tomography and computerized axial tomography (CAT). CT scan images provide more-detailed evidence than plain X-rays do.

Track 24: Crystallography

Crystallography is the science that examines crystals, which can be found everywhere in nature from salt to snowflakes to gemstones. Crystallographers use the properties and inner structures of crystals to determine the arrangement of atoms and generate knowledge that is used by chemists, physicists, biologists, and others. They study it by X-rays and electrons, their application in condensed matter research, materials science and the life sciences.
