Physicochemical characterization of the materials 1200-1ZMCHFPL6
Within exercises during laboratory course students will learn about classic physic-chemical techniques used for materials analysis depending on the properties of material eg. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (SP, LA), Surface Enhanced Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (SERRS) and resonance coupling, photoelectrochemical studies of the activity and morphology of solar cells, characterization of the phase boundary water/air by Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques, Microscopy of Brewster angle, ellipsometry, electrochemical quartz microbanance (EQCM), measurements of wetting angle, and characterization of monolayers (PMIRRAS), powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), electron microscopies (SEM, TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and measurements of zeta potential.

Learning outcomes
Students should be able to:
1. Explain fundamentals of the particular techniques
2. Describe modern techniques used in the physic-chemical characterization of materials
3. Propose the solution of problem about material analysis depending on its properties and propose the sample preparation to particular analysis
4. Explain the construction and operation of particular techniques
5. Propose the methodology of the sample analysis depending on the materials properties and appropriate technique for surface characterization
Assessment criteria
Students are obligated to present their knowledge about fundamentals of particular techniques before starting the exercise and perform particular experiments. For each experiment students are expected to prepare a laboratory report based on the recorded data after each exercise.
Practical placement
Bibliography
