Course description
The aim of the course to provide knowledge and practice on basic, modern measurement methods used in scientific research and engineering practice. During the semester each student performs seven 4-hour lab exercises and prepares the respective protocol.
The laboratory measurements:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction
- X-ray line profile analysis
- Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
- Atomic force microscopy (AFM)
- Liquid scintillation spectrometry
- Gamma spectroscopy
- Infrared spectroscopy
- Electron spin resonance
