Course content
1. Practical synthesis of nanomaterials with and withouth surface modification by polymers. For the preparation, the chemical, mechanochemical and thermal procedures will be employed. 2. The detailed characterization of the prepared nanomaterials by means of: X-ray powder diffraction; X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy; Thermal analysis; Mössbauer spectroscopy; Scanning probe microscopy (scanning tunneling microscopy - STM, atomic force microscopy - AFM, magnetic force microscopy - MFM); Scanning electron microscopy; Transmission electron microscopy; Infrared, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy; Measurement of magnetic propertied - SQUID magnetometer; Measurement of specific surface area - BET method; Measurement of particle size using dynamic light scattering - DLS; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. 3. Analysis and interpretation of the results from all allpied instrumental methods.
