I’d like to express my gratitude to the whole staff members of the Raman spectroscopy sector and special thanks to my supervisor Dr Grigory Arzumanyan for his great attention and care of my practice work.

Participant's Final Report

This report will be available for the visitors of the SSP website after it has been checked and approved by the participant's project supervisor and by the Organizing Committee.
Final Report Writing Requirements
The report should be written in English, it should be clear, concise, and written for a broad scientific audience. Consult with your mentor to determine a style usually used in scientific papers. Use clear, significant words when writing your paper and avoid using jargon or specialized terms whenever possible.
Contents:
Abstract. The abstract is a succinct outline of the research project. For experimental projects, it presents the principal objective and scope of the project, describes the methodology, summarizes the results, and states the principal conclusions. For a theoretical paper, it describes the issue and analysis, and states implications for further research. The abstract should stand alone and be intelligible without the paper.
Text. The paper should begin by providing background, presenting the nature and scope of the problem being investigated, and giving rationale for the work. The main conclusions should be stated briefly in this section. This section should be accessible to readers in any discipline (including non-science fields) and readers for whom English is not a first language.
Following this introductory section, the findings should be described concisely with brief descriptions of the methodology when necessary. The text should finish with a discussion of the results. The implications of the research, relation to other work in the author's lab, and future research directions should be included in this section. Even though this section may be technical, it should not be obtuse.
Methods. This section should be subdivided by short headings referring to the technique being used or the experiment being explained. This section is directed toward scientists in the author's field.
Figures. Include figures whenever possible to illustrate your points. Explanatory diagrams may help explain background information (pictures from textbooks are fine). Carefully choose your image size, font size, line widths, and labels to ensure that your figures are clear. Plot theory and experiment on the same graph and redraw screen photos. All figures should be accompanied by explanatory captions.
References. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of references. References should be numbered sequentially as they appear in the text and should be listed at the end of the paper. Reference numbers should be in superscript when cited in the text.
Acknowledgments. Acknowledge your mentor and all other individuals who provided technical assistance, and the individuals, organizations, grants, or contracts from whom you received financial support. Students should be sure to include the names of their financial sponsors.
