Description of the research topic:

This research focuses on studying the possibilities for the direct solid sampling analysis of the composition of small (microgram) amounts of environmental matrices (e.g., soils, aerosols) and advanced nanomaterials (e.g., doped nano-SiC) by high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS-AAS). The purpose of the work is to develop modern solid sampling analytical methods for the concerned matrices in HR-CS-AAS, studying spectral and non-spectral interferences, and to suggest methods for their reduction or elimination. A further research task could be the systematic investigation on the vaporization and atomization processes of the matrix constituents in spectrochemical sources (e.g., graphite/quartz furnaces), and elaboration of accurate calibration procedures for the quantitation of trace components in various samples as noted above.

Required language skills: English (at least B2 level)
Further requirements: 
Skills in instrumental techniques and in handling/preparing micro-samples are a certain advantage.

Number of students who can be accepted: 1
