Syllabus
Course consists of 5 synthetic excercises with characterisation of products
Annotation
The course introduces to the students modern preparation methods applied to inorganic materials, their processing and characterization. Students will prepare metallic and oxidic materials using following methods - direct high-temperature solid-state synthesis, sol-gel method, citrate method, hydrothermal method, microemulsion method, thermal decomposition method in high-boiling organic solvent.
All prepared samples will be characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and possibly other measurements (infrared and Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy for samples containing iron, or other optical and magnetic measurements).
