GLG490C Analytical Instruments Fall, 2004

General Material http://www.thecatalyst.org/m03ptabl.html This site is a collection of periodic tables, including downloadable varieties http://www.crct.polymtl.ca/FACT/index.php?websites=1 The Facility for the Analysis of Chemical Thermodynamics includes lots of useful items on their web page, including several on-line calculators http://earthref.org/GERM/index.html?main.htm The Geochemical Earth Reference Model page contains a large number of analyses of terrestrial and extraterrestrial materials http://www.cea.com/tutorial.htm Charles Evans and Associates used to be a consulting firm (bought out by Physical Electronics) offering surface analyses (mostly to the semiconductor industry). They were funded by NSF to put together these tutorials of the techniques they specialized in. These tutorials concentrate on SIMS, Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). http://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/mineralogie/links/tools/tools.html A huge collection of links to different techniques (including making petrographic thin sections). Electron microprobe http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/UCLEMA/EMPA1.html A description of the electron microprobe http://geoinfo.nmt.edu/labs/microprobe/geoc589.html The web site for the electron probe course at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology http://www.vuw.ac.nz/geo/analytical/probe.htm A brief description of the electron probe. Noteworthy because of the large number of images given as examples. Other sites devoted to the electron microprobe: http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/%7Ewittke/Microprobe/ProbeNotes.html http://geoinfo.nmt.edu/labs/microprobe/home.html http://www.geo.umass.edu/probe/ http://www.umanitoba.ca/geoscience/labs/microbeam/cameca.html http://www.geology.wisc.edu/~johnf/sx51.html Infrared Spectroscopy http://www.shu.ac.uk/schools/sci/chem/tutorials/molspec/irspec1.htm Theoretical principles of infrared spectroscopy http://tes.asu.edu/ Main page of the Mars Thermal Emission spectrometer web site operated by Prof. Phil Christensen Mass and Thermal Analysis http://www.ex.ac.uk/cimt/dictunit/dictunit.htm#categoryhttp://www.impactanalytical.com/dsc.html A dictionary of units. http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/mortar/mortar.htm#top A site on Differential Scanning Calorimetry with a practical application: use of thermal analysis to characterize mortar in ancient buildings. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) http://asnmr4.la.asu.edu/nmr/ Home page of the ASU NMR lab http://www.shu.ac.uk/schools/sci/chem/tutorials/molspec/nmr1.htm NMR tutorial http://www.cis.rit.edu/htbooks/nmr/inside.htm NMR tutorial in great detail! http://www.jeol.com/nmr/nmr.html Japan Electro-Optics Laboratory, a company that sells NMR equipment (as well as electron microprobes, scanning and transmission electron microscopes). Raman Spectroscopy http://www.kosi.com/raman/resources/tutorial A nice tutorial on Raman Spectroscopy. http://www.umich.edu/~morgroup/virtual/labeled/desc.html#capillary Includes abundant information and definitions of the pieces of a Raman spectrometer. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) http://sims.asu.edu Rather out of date description of research in the older SIMS lab at ASU. http://geosims.asu.edu Description of the research going on in the newer SIMS lab in PSF-wing. http://sims.ess.ucla.edu/ Home of the UCLA SIMS. This is the first 1270 SIMS constructed. This large-format instrument can be used for dating zircons, conducting depth profiles into thin films, and for microanalyses of oxygen, carbon, sulfur, and other isotope ratios. http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/pb4/pg2/equipment/sims/ Home page of the SIMS lab in Potsdam. List of nearly all other geo-centric SIMS lab web pages. http://simsworkshop.org Home page of the SIMS listserve and workshop organizers. Includes directories of users, information on meetings, and links to related sites. X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) http://www.ualberta.ca/~anelson/Tuitorials/xps_basics.html A very brief description of the basic instrument. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) http://epswww.unm.edu/xrd/home.htm Includes pages relating to the University of New Mexico's class on XRD http://www.bmsc.washington.edu/people/merritt/bc530/bragg A nice derivation and illustration of Bragg's Law
