Course description
The laboratory helps to acquire practice in atomic, molecular and biophysics. Students can choose from the measurements listed below. They have to complete only four measurements in the semester allowing them to deepen their knowledge in the specific field.
- Computer simulations of molecules
- Investigation of the electron structure of carbon nanotubes with absorption and fluorescent spectroscopy
- Laser cooling
- Electron spin resonance spectroscopy
- Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
- Raman microscopy
- Room temperature phosphorescence and pressure-dependent fluorescence spectroscopy of enzymes
- Investigation of the mass, size and conformation stability of biological macromolecules
- Analysis of chemical elements by detecting the X-rays induced by accelerated particles
- Investigation of the primary processes in photosynthesis
- Optical manipulations and microfluidics
- Video-polarimetry with biological applications
- Time-lapse imaging of cell cultures
