Exam/test on the content dealt with in the lecture, seminar, and laboratory practical content (75%), laboratory reports (25%)

If „Advanced Characterization Tools II“ is chosen, then Advanced Characterization Tools I“ has to be chosen as well.
The module can also be chosen as an elective module in „individual specialization“, if not already completedas „required specialization“.

Will be recommended at the beginning of the module.

Spectroscopic and spectrometric characterization tools to characterize the chemical and electronic structure of materials. The module covers the physical and chemical basis underlying individual characterization tools, and derive the information content that can be obtained from the individual tools. In addition, the module also deals with UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy (including FRET and confocal microscopy), Raman, resonance Raman and Brillouin scattering, IR absorption spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XPS and XANES), Auger spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, and AFM and STM spectroscopy.

Upon successful completion of the module, students have advanced knowledge of concepts of spectroscopy and spectrometry to characterise materials. Through the lecture and seminar they know the theoretical background, including aspects of data analysis, while through the laboratory practical course they learn in-depth knowledge of data evaluation and the interpretation of experimental results using selected methods and are able to apply these.
