Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

describe and explain physical phenomena on which the methods are based,

propose a suitable microscopic or spectroscopic method for extracting of specific information about material,

suggest proper analytical conditions, i.e. detector, analyser, primary source, sample preparation, to optimise measuring conditions.
