This combined class and laboratory course complements Materials Characterization in the sense of continuing along the central theme in greater detail. Topics include: a basic overview and general aspects of electronic and crystal properties of solid materials; dynamic light scattering; atomic force microscopy; electron spin resonance spectroscopy, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; Mössbauer spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy and impedance spectroscopy. Computational techniques will be given in lab section to show how to simulate spectra by considering the energy functions

CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this course is getting knowledge about the advanced spectroscopic, microscopic and scattering techniques in particular not only magnetic resonance methods but also impedance and Mössbauer, AFM and DLS, respectively. This will enable students to comment on the data that are obtained from these advanced characterization techniques. One of the main learning outcomes of the course is i.e., the student has knowledge of the relationship between the substance structure and its EPR and NMR spectra, which can be applied in the determination of the structure of the unknown inorganic/organic compounds. Student knows the principles of magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques, along with simulations of isotropic and anisotropic EPR/NMR spectra.
LEARNING OUTCOME
The students are familiarized with the theory of the techniques treated in the course.
Each student will gain hands-on knowledge in the laboratory characterizing model samples and an unknown.
With their own collected data, each individual will learn to write a comprehensive lab report on the technique.
