Materials Analysis I

The lecture covers different aspects of basics and principles of instrumental analytics. Main topics are:
fundamentals of selected analytical methods, e.g. mass spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry,sample preparation, performing of measurements and evaluation of the results.

The students understand the basics and principles of instrumental analytics and they know how to evaluate results.

The students gain basic analytical skills and get acquainted with application fields and limitations of various analytical methods.

The students know the fundamentals of selected analytical methods in the field of mass spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.

Written exam is compulsory and the submission of reports is voluntary, but complete number of successfully certified reports will increase the final grade by one level.
