| Summary |
|---|
Students will be introduced to methods commonly used in laboratory practice as well as less traditional methods, which, however, have a strong position in materials characterization. The practiced techniques were discussed at the theoretical level in the courses Physical-Chemical Methods of Materials Study and Instrumental Analysis in the second year. At the beginning of each laboratory practice, the theoretical basis of each technique will first be practiced and consolidated, focusing mainly on the principle of measurement and the construction of instruments; in the next part of the exercise, the experimental technique will be practically practiced.
The practiced techniques were discussed at the theoretical level in the second year in the courses Physical Chemical Methods of Materials Study and Instrumental Analysis. At the beginning of each exercise, the theoretical basis of each technique will first be practiced and consolidated, focusing mainly on the principle of measurement and the construction of instruments; in the next part of the exercise, the experimental technique will be practically practiced. Common techniques that will be practiced are techniques aimed at chemical composition analysis such as elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Mass spectrometry methods coupled with chromatographic techniques will be practiced as well. Furthermore, the method of X-ray diffraction analysis and the technique of thermal analysis with the mass and infrared detection will be practiced. Other selected techniques practiced include Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetometry and the nuclear magnetic resonance method.
