Course content
The practice will include the measurements of the selected samples, data processing and evaluation. Practice: 1. Size and morphological characterization of the nanoparticles via AFM method. 2. Study of thermal decomposition of the selected iron salts via TG/DTA. 3. Determination of the surface area of nanocrystalline and porous materials. 4. Measurements and evaluation of the magnetic characteristics of the selected metal oxides. 5. Measurements and evaluation of the Mössbauer spectra of the selected minerals and iron salts. 6. Measurements of size distribution of colloidal Ag via DLS method. 7. X-ray powder diffraction analysis used for the purpose of study of phase composition of the selected polycrystalline samples. 9. IR spectroscopy used for characterization of some surface modified nanoparticles - data processing, evaluation. 10. Raman spectroscopy used for characterization of some surface modified nanoparticles - data processing, evaluation.
