ALBA Synchrotron
Ibraheem Yousef, beamline responsible of MIRAS
Many researchers through the ages have taken up the challenge of finding out "What is Light?" One of the important outputs of these researches has led to the discovery of infrared light during the 19th century. Since then, the infrared light and, in particular, its use in microspectroscopy, has been involved in many multidisciplinary applications. |
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy is a valuable tool to identify the chemical composition of materials at the molecular level. The scientific applications of FTIR microspectroscopy are covering a wide range of research fields, including surface and material science, biochemistry, microanalysis, archaeology, geology, cell biology, biomedical diagnostics, environmental science, etc.
In this talk, the historical evolution of FTIR microspectroscopy will be presented. A brief introduction of the infrared microspectroscopy principles will be followed by some recent research studies that have been carried out at the MIRAS beamline of ALBA.

ALBA Talks - Internal Seminars
Based on the previous series of internal seminars, that were performed between 2012-2013, a new cycle of seminars is addressed to all staff.
The aim of the project is to share knowledge about the activities carried out by the different divisions in the ALBA Synchrotron as well to improve the scientific culture of all the members of the staff.
Seminars will be held on Fridays at 12:00 h, lasting each of them less than one hour.
Save the date for the next seminars
- 16/02/2018, 12:00 h - Pep Campmany "How is the synchrotron light produced at ALBA"
