Classes
This course is part of a larger LV entitled "Materialwissenschaftliches Praktikum", which combines LV 260060 (PR "Praktikum Materialphysik", 8 ECTS) in the Faculty of Physics as well as the LV 270305 (SE+UE "Moderne Methoden zur Charakterisierung von Materialien", 3.5 ECTS) in the Faculty of Chemistry. The part in the Faculty of Chemistry comprises 4 Experiments outlined below.
The complete labcourse (LV 260060+LV 270305) intends to provide an introduction in the most important techniques of material chemistry in general. Therefore the complete labcourse (in Physics and Physical/Materials Chemistry) is highly recommended as a specific preparation for master work and/or a doctoral thesis in materials chemistry.
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, and the 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.

These techniques will be demonstrated on selected examples.
The course is highly recommended as a specific preparation for master work and/or a doctoral thesis in materials chemistry.Contents (part in Physical Chemistry): Introduction to production and properties of X-rays. Fundamental principles of X-ray diffraction. Indexation of X-ray powder patterns (Example 1). Techniques and interpretation of powder diffraction data; qualitative and quantitative analysis of crystalline powders (Rietveld analysis) as well as ab-initio determination of an unknown crystal structure from X-ray powder data (Example 2). Methods of solving the phase problem. Direct methods for structure determination and refinement from X-ray single crystal data (Example 3). Introduction to EPMA (Electron Microprobe Analysis; Example 4).
The introductory course is accompanied by tutored exercises on these major tasks (1-4) and by concomitant training in various computer programs (Fullprof, Oscail, Atoms).
