Abstract:
The basic ideas of Fourier analysis have appeared in the first half of the last century; this method has proven strength predication and practical importance especially in our century. Also is possible to generate the Fourier transform on discrete structures for finite groups, and an effective calculation by the fast Fourier transform, being essential in the high-speed calculations. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) technique is based, on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm of a discrete signal, resulting by crossing an infrared beam through the examined material. Due to the high computing power, the FT-IR technique provides a precise characterization of materials such as polymers; carbon nanowalls etc., samples which can be monitored over time.
