Please send me the number of selected topic plus your name and your colleague’s name
(naseri@sharif.edu), ASAP.
1- What is “ Fluorescence Spectroscopy ” and how biologists/biotechnologists use it?
2- How scientists use “ Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectroscopy ”? Which information they extracted from this method in UV, Visible and near infrared region, respectively?
3- In which ways spectroscopic techniques are important for a pharmacologist? Discuss about 3 different methods, at least .
4- Explain about “Mass Spectroscopy” technique. In this regard, compare gas chromatography and liquid chromatography.
5- In which way, “Protein Mass spectroscopy” can help a biologist?
6- What is “Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES)” and how is it informative about electronic structure of materials?
7- How a “Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometer” discriminates various compound?
Explain about three different applications, at least.
8- How spectroscopic methods led to discovery of expanding universe? How astronomers/cosmologists record data and interpret the results?
9- Spectroscopic examinations are useful in archeology and also to fight forgery. Explain three different spectroscopy methods in this area (Physical principles, instrumentals and real examples).
10- Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is an electrochemical method to investigate electronic and optoelectronic properties of a certain semiconductor. What is it fundamentally and how we can use it to estimate charge carrier density in a semiconductor?
11- How optical and IR spectroscopy can help an astronomer? (mention some examples also for each field)
12- Sometimes, Near-Infra-Red spectroscopy can be applied in muscle physiology. How this technique is useful for sport medicine?

13- Glow discharge-optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES) tells us about compositions in the depth of materials. How this technique works and what is the advantage?
14- To measure time scales in phenomena involving charge carriers and study related kinetics, scientists usually apply “Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy”. What is it fundamentally and how it helps biochemists?
15- One way to control defects in a semiconductor based devices like diodes and reduce flicker noises is applying “Deep-Level Spectroscopy”. Explain about principles and technical details of the method.
16- Force spectroscopy is a powerful technique to understand bindings between individual parts of the material. One example is AFM which works as a microscope base on atomic forces. Another technique is using optical and magnetic tweezers. What are they and how can be informative? Explain about a typical procedure.
17- To categorize noises in spectroscopic methods, people usually name each kind of noise with a certain color. What are that colors and what are their physical meaning?
Give an example for each and explain them in theoretical and experimental aspects, as much as you can.
18- Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is a powerful method to scan the changes in a chemical solution and also measuring the size of particles from few nanometers to micrometer.
What are the physical principles of this method and measurable parameters?
For preparing your presentations, please stick to these rules. a) All of student must attend the presentation sessions. b) Consider your time properly: 10 min for presentation and 5 min for questions. c) A typical presentation should include introduction (about importance of the subject and/or historical backgrounds), fundamentals (focus on the physical aspects as much as you can), technical details and some examples. d)
Don’t forget to mention all used books, journals, and websites, source of pictures and any other references.

e) Each slide should contain a title and slide number. Use common fonts for the texts with a proper size. Use graphics as much as you can. Don’t fill the slide with text boxes. Also, avoid simple copy-paste texts from the source! f) In the first slide, you should mention the topic of your project and your name. g) Try to make informative slide, d on’t use strange templates with colorful background. h) Use at least 5 different references. i) Start now!
Good Luck
