Spring semester

Investigation methods of material structures in supramolecular ranges: Light scattering (theory of static and dynamic light scattering, determination of diffusion standards and sizes of particles); X-ray- and neutron scattering, SAXS and SANS(supramolecular structuralinvestigations of amorphous materials with small and wide angle X-ray and neutron scattering, theories of X-ray and neutron scattering, comparison of SAXS and SANS, evaluation of scattering pattern, SAXS, SANS investigation of amorphous and some ordering showing materials); Electron and neutron diffractions(theories, instruments, neutron sours and detectors, application possibilities).

Morphological and surface investigation methods Electron microscope(theories and operational principles of scanning and transmission electron microscope); Scanning and atomic force microscope, AFM, STM(morphology of solid surfaces, phase structures of composite materials, determination of elastic modules, investigation of solid-liquid interfaces); Surface analysis, XPS(nanolayers atomic analysis, chemical structures, dept profile analysis); Reflection optical methods, ellipsometry, reflectometry, OWLS, SPR, direct force measurements(optical theories of methods, determinationsoflayer thickness, molecule orientations, microstructures, etc.)
