Vibrational Spectroscopies and Optics

Vibrations are fingerprints of molecules and of solid state compounds. These fingerprints tell us about the material properties, in many diverse situations. Our group exploits these techniques with diverse aims: for the identification of  technological compounds newly obtained by material scientists, in the investigation of matter of geological interest, and in the analysis of manufacts of historical heritage relevance.

Stampa

Our laboratory is active in the field of vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and FTIR) and optics, with application in many fields, mainly in materials sciences:

  • Minerals, gemstones and asbestos materials
  • Cultural Heritage
  • Sol-gel derived nanocrystalline oxides and glasses
  • Organic-inorganic hybrid materials
  • Semiconductors
  • Multiferroics
  • Oxides
