Lecture Topic：Polarized Resonance Synchronous Spectroscopy: A New Analytical Technique for Material Characterization and Process Monitoring from Small Molecules to Large Nanoparticle Assemblies

Lecturer: Dr. Zhang Dongmao, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at Mississippi State University

Lecture Time: May 27, 2019, 15:00-17:00

Lecture Location: Mingde Building A203

Lecture Content:

Optical spectroscopic techniques including UV-vis absorption, scattering, and fluorescence emission have been the most popular methods for material characterizations in chemistry, biology, and material research. Despite their long history and popularity, existing tools are limited in their ability in quantification of the photon absorption, scattering, and fluorescence activities for many realistic materials that are simultaneous light absorbers and scatterers, and sometimes emitters. The polarized resonance synchronous spectroscopic (PRS2) technique developed by the Zhang group successfully resolved a series of issues limiting the quantitative understanding of material optical properties. By using combined measurements made with a conventional UV-vis spectrophotometer and a spectrofluorometer that is equipped with linear excitation and detection polarizers, this PRS2 method enables acquisition of a series of fundamental optical parameter spectra that are difficult or impossible to obtain before. After a brief introduction of the theoretical background and data acquisition and analysis procedures, the utility of this new spectroscopic method will be discussed using a few representative examples ranging from small solvent molecules, dispersed molecular fluorophores, to large molecular and nanoparticle assemblies.
