Specialization Laboratory 1 - Physical and Nuclear Chemistry 1200-2EN-PHNUCLA12M

The topics of the specialization exercises are related to the scope of research work conducted in the scientific laboratories of the Department of Physical Chemistry and concern four main areas: electrochemistry, molecular spectroscopy, thermodynamics and plasma chemistry. Within the specialization laboratory, 10 selected topics from the following set of exercises can be performed:
1. Theoretical modeling of fluorescent properties of organic molecules.
2. Electrochromism of conducting polymers.
3. Application of computer simulation to determine phase equilibria (and related quantities in chemistry, technology and ecology).
4. Electrochemical adsorption of hydrogen in a palladium electrode.
5. Measurement of diffusion coefficients using NMR spectroscopy methods.
6. Basics of NMR spectroscopy of proteins.
7. Modeling the dependence of the vicinal NMR coupling constant on the conformation of the molecule.
8. Electrochemical properties of selected electrode materials in lithium-ion cells.
9. High-temperature synthesis of selected carbon nanomaterials.
10. Monitoring the enzymatic proteolysis of protein using fluorescence spectroscopy, IR and circular dichromism.
11. Spectroscopic studies of insulin denaturation, misfolding and aggregation.
12. Advanced modes of atomic force microscopy.
13. Study of ultrafast dynamics stimulated by femtosecond laser pulse in metallic nanoparticles, gas or molecular liquids.
14. Nuclear magnetic resonance experiments in the Earth's field.
15. Simulations of protein macrocomplexes using molecular dynamics methods.
16. Machine learning in predicting properties and biological activity of chemical compounds.
