Annotation -
The laboratory course is aimed at providing practical experiences and a brief survey of principles and
applications of physical methods used in inorganic chemistry.

The course is designed for Master and PhD students.

Literature -

Recommended literature is provided by supervisor(s) of individual exercises.

Requirements to the exam -

Protocols of individual excercises have to be submitted for inspection to the supervisors within one week upon completing that particular excersize.

After the completion of all excersises prescribed, their acepted and signed protocols have to be delivered to the course supervisor within six weeks.

The classification of individual protocols will reflect not only the protocol quality, but also the timely fashion of their submission.

 

In the case of timely protocol submission the final classification is calculated as the average of all classifications obtained within individual excerises.

In case of later submission without proving a serious reason, the final classification is worsened by one degree with respect to the classification for a timely submission.

Should the delay in submitting the protocols exceed two months with no serious reason, the final classification obtained from averaging the individual classifications will be worsened by two degrees.

4.    NMR spectroscopy
5.    Potentiometry
6.    Electronic spectroscopy

Selectable exercises:

Each student chooses four additional exercises from the below list. Venue dates are set individually after discussing with the exercise heads within one week following the introductory instruction.

7. High-temperature powder X-ray diffraction
8. Vibrational spectroscopy II. (IR + Raman microspectroscopy)
9. Magnetochemistry
10. Study of phase transitions by IR/Raman spectroscopy
