Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
The judging of students is derived from the activity in seminars, the engagement during the experiments, and from the result of final questioning.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Correct handling of modern research facilities, good physico/chemical understanding, suitable documentation of experiments.The course is highly recommended as a specific preparation for master work and/or a doctoral thesis in materials chemistry.
Examination topics
The lab course uses modern audio-visual tools and state-of-the-art research instruments.
Reading list
A series of books on the specific subjects treated in the total labcourse will be made available to the participants; the part covered in physical chemistry may be studied from 1) M.M. Woolfson, "An Introduction to X-ray Crystallography", Cambridge University Press, Online Publication January 2010; Online ISBN:9780511622557 ; Paperback ISBN:97805214235952) G. H. Stout and L.H.

The part in the Faculty of Chemistry comprises 4 Experiments outlined below and intends to provide a general basic introduction into the tasks of crystal structure determination (a) from X-ray powder data as well as (b) from X-ray single crystal data.
The aforementioned tasks in Physical Chemistry/Materials Chemistry are embedded in a larger course in "Materials Science" covering many basic important aspects such as "Crystal growth techniques", "Mechanical properties of metals, glasses, polymeres", "DTA/DSC combined with quantitative EDX-EPMA for phase diagram evaluation", "TEM-transmission electron microscopy", "textures in metals" etc.
