Hours of instruction:

Weekly: five hours of lectures + three hours of study research work

Goals:

Introducing doctoral students to the latest instrumental methods for non-destructive chemical analysis, primarily with the kind of devices that are commercially manufactured today. Particular attention is paid to the distinction between physical (not mechanical) and chemical characterization. An additional objective of the course is to look at the difference between corpuscular and wave excitation, as well as the facts of what a particular method can and cannot provide as a relevant result required for a scientific-research or professional work. The candidates will familiarize themselves with laboratories using laboratory equipment for non-destructive chemical analysis in our country.

Outcome:

Doctoral students are well versed in non-destructive methods of chemical analysis and their possibilities, that is, impossibilities. The student has the competencies to make the right choice for a particular method or set of methods that can provide the relevant results required for his scientific-research or professional work. The student is able to critically analyze the results obtained. The student is able to promote new approaches to work in a professional setting or educational setting.

Teaching methods:

Lectures, semester papers, oral exam.
