Recommendations for terms relating to materials characterization: Latin and other introduced terms
Confused about Latin terms in materials characterisation? Having trouble understanding what the conditions of the sample for a reported characterisation were?
This project has the objective to clarify, as well as resolve discrepancies and conflict, regarding Latin terms used to describe the characterization of materials made under non-ambient conditions, materials within systems, and of materials during change. These include terms such as ex situ, in situ, and (in) operando. The outcome of the project will be a recommendation for specific Latin terms to the IUPAC. This objective will benefit the materials chemistry community and empower IUPAC to make a decision on recommended terms for these. It is intended that the terminology will comply with the VIM and IUPAC Guidelines for Recommendations.
The task group comprises material characterization experts spanning both diffraction and spectroscopy and three Latin scholars. The project will make a recommendation for specific Latin terms to the IUPAC, compliant with IUPAC guidelines.
Instrumentation & techniques have advanced faster than terms.
Consistent language is needed to discuss sample characterization conditions.
We need to clarify & resolve discrepancies for Latin terms describing materials characterization.
Particularly for non-ambient conditions, within systems, and during change.The task group welcomes input from the broader research communities on further terms to include, particularly those used inconsistently or ambiguously. If you are interested in participating or have an experimental condition or term that you think needs clarification, email to become involved in the project.
