Simplified version of Schrodinger equation
Solves a many body problem as a function of electron densityonly (instead of a function of coordinates of all electrons)
In principle exact, but in practice approximation have to beused
Especially used for ground states

DFT

Density Functional Theory (DFT)
•Electron density is the basic variable from which all terms in the Schrodinger equation can be determined uniquely at ground state (Hohenberg-Konh 1965)
•Variational principle applies on r:
External + nuclear action r(r)
Universal functional F(r(r))
Advantage: a single function of space (instead of one/e-)
•Euler-Lagrange equations
LDA approximation

XRD= X-Ray Diffraction

Diffraction – Braggs’s law
d = spacing between diffractingplanesΘ = incident anglen = integerλ = beam wavelength (?)
Peak height : proportional to the number of incident electron, to the size and number of crystallitesPeak position: depends on the type and the parameter of the primitive cell ( + constraints in the material)Peak width : depends on internal micro-constraints and the size of the crystalline coherence

XANES, EXAFS
XANES (X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Spectroscopy) and EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure)
• Excitation source = synchrotron light
• XANES (or NEXAFS) : sensitive to electronic transitions within atoms => electronic state, oxidation state
• EXAFS = oscillations due to interferences with neighboring atoms (of a given atom)=> chemical environment, neighboring atoms (nature, number). Distribution of neighbors requires mathematical fitting

Simplified version of Schrodinger equation
Solves a many body problem as a function of electron densityonly (instead of a function of coordinates of all electrons)
In principle exact, but in practice approximation have to beused
Especially used for ground states

Density Functional Theory (DFT)
•Electron density is the basic variable from which all terms in the Schrodinger equation can be determined uniquely at ground state (Hohenberg-Konh 1965)
•Variational principle applies on r:
External + nuclear action r(r)
Universal functional F(r(r))
Advantage: a single function of space (instead of one/e-)
•Euler-Lagrange equations
LDA approximation

Aim: separating chemicals in a complex sample• sample pass in a gas stream at different rates
depending on their properties and their interaction with the column filling ('stationary phase‘)
• They are separated according to their time to exit ('retention time')
• At exit they are detected and identified electronically.
Detection
• flame ionization detector (FID)
• thermal conductivity detector (TCD)
• Mass spectrometer (MS)
• Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)
