Study Notes
Module 6: Spectroscopic, Diffraction and Microscopic Techniques
- Spectroscopy techniques: Study the interaction between electromagnetic (EM) radiation and matter.
- Instrumental techniques: Tools for studying atomic and molecular structures.
- Principle (Beer-Lambert's Law): Describes how the absorption of light varies with distance and concentration in a medium.
- UV-Visible Spectroscopy principles: Deals with energy absorption in the UV or visible region, leading to electronic transitions.
- X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) principles: Uses X-rays to determine crystal structure.
- Light: Electromagnetic wave and transverse in nature. Natural light is unpolarized.
- Electromagnetic spectrum: Shows different types of EM radiation, including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet (UV) light, visible light, infrared (IR) rays, radar, microwaves, and radio waves.
- Types of EM radiation interaction with matter: Absorption, transmission, reflection, scattering, and photoluminescence (e.g., fluorescence, phosphorescence, Raman scattering).
- Color of an object: Depends on the wavelengths transmitted/reflected, while absorbed wavelengths are not seen.
- Components of a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer: Includes a source lamp, monochromator, sample holder, photometer/detector, and signal processor/readout.
- Beer-Lambert Law: The absorbance (A) is related to the absorptivity coefficient (\ε), path length (l), and concentration (c) of the analyte. (A = εcl)
- Diffraction: The apparent bending of waves around obstacles or spreading out of waves past small openings.
- Interference: Interaction between diffracted waves (constructive or destructive).
- Constructive Interference: In-phase waves produce a higher amplitude. Path difference is a multiple of the wavelength.
- Destructive Interference: Out-of-phase waves produce a reduced amplitude. Path difference is a multiple of half a wavelength.
- XRD principles (Bragg Model): X-rays interact with atoms, primarily their electrons. Scattered waves combine constructively in certain directions, defined by Bragg's Law (nλ = 2dsinθ).
- XRD Techniques: Used for identifying unknown crystalline materials, studying biological molecules (vitamins, drugs, proteins, DNA), and determining structural properties (lattice parameters, strain, grain size).
- XRD pattern: Provides information about the actual structure compared to the ideal structure (internal stresses and defects).
- Calculation of Crystallite Size (Scherrer Equation): Used for nanoparticles, relates peak broadening to crystal size.
- XRD Instrument Components: X-ray tube, incident beam optics, goniometer, sample holder, receiving beam optics, and a detector. Describes incident and diffracted-beam angles.
- Types of Solids: Single crystal, polycrystal, and amorphous material. This refers to differing levels of ordering of the atomic arrangement, affecting the XRD pattern.
(ii). Principle and applications of UV-Visible spectroscopy
- Different molecules absorb different wavelengths depending on their structure, creating absorption bands for functional groups.
- UV-Vis spectroscopy measures electronic transitions in valence electrons.
- UV region = 1 - 400 nm; Visible region = 400-750 nm.
(iii). Principle and applications of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
- XRD is a technique for determining crystal structures by measuring X-ray scattering.
- XRD is non-destructive, used in materials science and engineering.
- XRD is used for structural characterization of biological molecules and many materials.
- Bragg’s Law (nλ = 2dsinθ) describes the relationship between X-ray wavelength, diffraction angle, and crystal structure.
- Calculation methods including Scherrer equation can utilize XRD patterns to estimate crystal size of nanoparticles.
