The present PhD thesis includes three different projects which belong to the domain of inner-shell atomic physics and high energy resolution X-ray spectroscopy. The first project consists of a series of in-house measurements of the characteristic K and L X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) of several 3d, 4d and 5d transition metals. For this project the target chamber of the von Hamos curved crystal...

Methodological advents for the calculation of the multiplet energy levels arising from multiple-open-shell 2p53dn+1 electron configurations, with n = 0, 1, 2,… and 9, are presented. We use the Ligand-Field Density Functional Theory (LFDFT) program, which has been recently implemented in the Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF) program package. The methodology consists of calculating the...

The ligand field density functional theory (LFDFT) algorithm is extended to treat the electronic structure and properties of systems with three-open-shell electron configurations, exemplified in this work by the calculation of the core and semi-core 1s, 2s, and 3s one-electron excitations in compounds containing transition metal ions. The work presents a model to non-empirically resolve the...

Dans les Alpes suisses, le pergélisol – portion du sous-sol dont la température reste inférieure à 0°C durant au moins une année – est présent de manière discontinue au-dessus de 2'300 m d’altitude environ. Néanmoins des conditions de sol anormalement et durablement froides – indicatrices de l’existence possible de pergélisol sporadique – se rencontrent aujourd’hui en de...

We are constantly exposed to ionizing radiation of different type. Most of the radiation exposure comes from natural sources. External background ° radiation originates from two different sources, terrestrial and cosmic. Terrestrial radiation originates from two different background, natural and artificial or “man-made” isotopes. The artificial radiation contributes very little to the total...

Ziel Ziel der Arbeit war, eine DGT-Methode zur Erfassung von anionischen Metallkomplexen in Gewässern zu entwickeln. Die DGT-Methode (diffusive gradients in thin-films) erlaubt eine in situ Probennahme. Hierbei werden Schwermetallionen selektiv auf einem Ionenaustauscher-Harz akkumuliert. In erster Linie galt es einen geeigneten Anionentauscher für die Bestimmung der Schwermetalle Antimon,...

Three different parts related to experimental Atomic Physics are contained in the present Ph. D. thesis. In the three projects the measurements were performed by means of high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy, using a reflecting von Hamos-type bent crystal spectrometer. This experimental technique represents thus the common denominator of the three projects. The two first parts of the thesis are...
