RESEARCH TOPIC: Computer-based Optical Spectroscopy
SYNOPSIS OF RESEARCH:
The objective of this research was to resolve the atomic spectrum of materials in order to observe relativistic interaction of atoms. This analysis was based on computer-based atomic spectroscopy used to analyze matter at the atomic level and at high-resolutions. One result of the experimentation performed was an ability to identify unknown elements through examination of the emission spectrum of contaminated samples. Another outcome is that the results and experimental techniques are being integrated into course material that will be used by the physics program.
