MCh 20 2 Analytical Methods for Condensed Matter
Crystallography, X-ray and electron radiation, structure determination of crystalline and non-crystalline materials.
Content
- Basic concepts of crystallography
- Physical fundamentals of diffraction phenomena with X-rays and electron beams
- Application of these methods for structure determination of crystalline and non crystalline substances
- Vibrational spectroscopy of solids, factor group analysis
- Electron spectra and magnetism of transition metals
Qualification goals
- Ability to apply the imparted knowledge for the indexing of
diffraction images and for structure determination from diffraction data - Development of problem solving skills and enhancement of analytical
skills - Acquisition of methodological knowledge and knowledge of equipment
critical handling of results - Recognition of the limits of scientific methods
- Recognition of "pitfalls" and avoidance of misinterpretations
- Development of the spatial imagination
