Optical Properties of Solid Samples

Author(s)Agilent

Webinar Date/Time: Wednesday, June 26th, 2024 at 8am PDT | 11am EDT | 4pm BST | 5pm CEST

This webinar will review detailed studies that demonstrate how to accurately estimate the effects of various physical processes, including thermal treatments, ionizing radiation exposure, optical exposure, and mechanical treatments, on both crystals and thin films. Additionally, the event will cover in-depth guidance on estimating the optical band gap of thin films using the Tauc and Kubelka-Munk methods.

Event Overview:

This webinar aims to comprehensively explore transmittance and reflectance measurements for both transparent and non-transparent crystal and thin film materials. Through detailed studies, it will be demonstrated how to accurately estimate the effects of various physical processes, including thermal treatments, ionizing radiation exposure, optical exposure, and mechanical treatments, on both crystals and thin films. Additionally, this webinar will provide in-depth guidance on estimating the optical band gap of thin films using the Tauc and Kubelka-Munk methods.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Transmittance and reflectance measurement methods
  • Optical properties of solid materials
  • Estimation of optical band gap by Tauc and Kubelka-Munk methods


Who Should Attend:

  • Under/Post-Graduate Researchers/Students
  • Laboratory Managers
  • Scientist/Staff Scientists
  • Lab Technician/Technologist
  • Analysts
  • Commercial or Academic organizations in the fields of optics, photonics, electro-optical, or semiconductors

José Fernando Diniz Chubac earned his MSc in 1987 and PhD in 1996 from the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo. He was also a research student at the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research of Osaka University, where he began his work on surface characterization and thin film formation for mechanical, optical, and electronic applications. Currently, he is a lecturer at the Institute of Physics and Elected Member at Large of the International Solid State Dosimetry Organization (ISSDO). He has more than 80 publications in scientific journals and conference proceedings on the ionizing radiation effects in ionic crystals and minerals, as well as on the formation and characterization of thin films. He has joined around 50 international conferences and his publications have been cited more than 900 times in the scientific literature.

Spectral Frontiers: Seeing the Unseeable Microspectroscopy
Microspectroscopy, the marriage of spectroscopic chemical identification with microscopic spatial resolution, has advanced from Perkin-Elmer's first commercial infrared microspectrometer in 1953 to today's nanoscale AFM-IR probes, synchrotron-brightness infrared beamlines, and compact hyperspectral tissue imaging devices being developed for AI-assisted cancer detection.
Atoms Don't Lie–The Remaking of Atomic Spectroscopy, © Hallie -chronicles-stock.adobe.com
Atomic spectroscopy has quietly gone from counting elements in bulk to counting single nanoparticles, imaging tissue at the micrometer scale, and reading Martian rocks from several meters away. The instruments got smaller, the software got smarter, and the questions they can now answer got a lot more interesting.

Spectroscopy Top 10 DOI Articles of the Month (September 2026)
The following articles are the most accessed digital object identifier (DOI) manuscripts for Spectroscopy and LCGC International during the month of September 2026. Nine articles are individually ranked here by DOI page views; the third-highest entry (186 views) was recorded against the bare journal-level DOI rather than an individual article and is therefore not attributable to a single manuscript.
