Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and materials physics and analytical chemistry.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The gained knowledge will be verified via oral examination and via prepared project of measured and evaluated data at the selected analytical equipment.
Teaching is not checked during the semester.

Aims

The of the course is to get deeper knowledge and skills in the field of selected advanced instumental methods of chemical, phase, structure and thermal analysis. Student gets to know the principals, measurement routes and experimental data treatment and evaluation. After a consultation with superviser the student also receives practical training at selected equipments led by the operator.
