Various spectroscopic and other techniques for characterizing catalysts and for probing the chemistry of solid surfaces and their interactions with adsorbing and reacting gases are discussed. Topics include infrared, X-ray photoelectron, Mossbauer, and secondary ion mass spectroscopies. Emphasis is on understanding the principles underlying each method and gaining an awareness of the kind of information each can provide in a broad spectrum of research problems. Offered in alternate years. Prerequisite: CHM 37500.
