Study of fundamental analytical techniques, including optical spectroscopic techniques, mass spectrometry, and microscopic and surface analysis methods. Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to introduce the graduate students to a range of analytical instrumental methods. The analytical techniques include qualitative optical spectroscopic methods (e.g. FTIR, ATR-FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction), quantitative optical spectroscopic methods (e.g. AA, ICP-AES, ICP-MS, XRF, UV/Vis, Fluorescence Spectroscopy), mass spectrometry (e.g. EI-MS, CI-MS), and Learning Outcomes microscopic and surface analysis methods (e.g. STM, AFM, SEM, XPS). Expected Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will therefore: 1. Be able to explain and apply the theory and instrumentation of instrumental analysis methods. 2. Be able to search the chemical literature and synthesize and evaluate information from that research. 3. Be able to prepare and deliver a scientific presentation. th Required Texts & Principles of Instrumental Analysis, 6 Edition, Skoog, Holler, Crouch, Materials Brooks Cole
Supplemental Texts, Readings, & Materials

The required text will be supplemented with monographs, reviews and/or research articles.
