The characterization of graphene often involves several techniques in conjunction in order to build up a complete picture of the material. The techniques typically include electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photo-emission spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal-gravimetric analysis (TGA).

The emission spectmm of Co, as recorded with an ideal detector with energy-independent efficiency and constant resolution (line width), is shown in Fig. 3.6b. In addition to the expected three y-lines of Fe at 14.4, 122, and 136 keV, there is also a strong X-ray line at 6.4 keV. This is due to an after-effect of K-capture, arising from electron-hole recombination in the K-shell of the atom. The spontaneous transition of an L-electron filling up the hole in the K-shell yields Fe-X X-radiation. However, in a practical Mossbauer experiment, this and other soft X-rays rarely reach the y-detector because of the strong mass absorption in the Mossbauer sample. On the other hand, the sample itself may also emit substantial X-ray fluorescence (XRF) radiation, resulting from photo absorption of y-rays (not shown here). Another X-ray line is expected to appear in the y-spectrum due to XRF of the carrier material of the source. For rhodium metal, which is commonly used as the source matrix for Co, the corresponding line is found at 22 keV. 

SnC>2 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method using ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and ether as solvents. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) have been used to study the crystallographic and morphological properties of synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles, while their optical properties have been studied by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. UV-Vis absorption spectra shows a weak quantum confinement in all the synthesized SnCL samples. The photo-catalytic activity of as-synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles under UV irradiation has been evaluated using Methylene Blue (MB) dye as a test contaminant in water. The results showed that solvents played a key role to control the morphology and photo-catalytic activity of SnCE nanoparticles. 

As the matter of fact, 1(a) of empty orbitals can be defined as the sum of the electron affinity and A (a, a). This problem also occurs in X-ray emission involving the loosest bound electrons jumping down in an inner vacancy. As we already discussed after Eq. (7) the last term of Eq. (20) is essentially (r r) of the outer electron being attracted as if (23) the element had the subsequent atomic number (Z -f 1). In metals, the bottom of the partly occupied conduction band tails off toward more negative energies than in the groundstate without inner-shell vacancies (this problem seen from the point of view of the relaxation of the surrounding electron density by photo-ionization of a metal is discussed by Watson and Perlman in this volume) and in compounds, transitions from filled penultimate... 

Luminescence is a phenomenon originating from the emission transition of ions, molecules or a crystal lattice from an excited electronic state to a ground state or a state with lesser energy. Depending on the mode of excitation, several types of luminescence can be distinguished such as photo-, cathodo-, thermo-, chemo-, tribo-, crystallo-, bio- and X-ray luminescence.
