14298 - Methods in Material Analytics Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14298
Module Title:Methods in Material Analytics
  Methoden der Materialanalytik
Department: Faculty 2 - Environment and Natural Sciences
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Schmidt, Peer
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Neffe, Axel T.
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:The aim is for students to be able to apply classical methods of inorganic and organic analytical chemistry to materials and to become familiar with other analytical methods that have been developed specifically for the characterization of materials.
After completing the module, students will be able to select suitable characterization methods for a specific problem, reproduce and explain the physicochemical principles of the measurement methods, and evaluate and correlate the data obtained from the various methods. 
In the practical laboratory work, students are familiarized with typical methods of material analysis and learn about sources of error. Practical work includes the evaluation and assessment of the data obtained. This provides students with knowledge and practical skills in the planning, implementation and evaluation of laboratory projects. They are able to plan tasks assigned to them with the help of literature research, implement them using standard laboratory equipment, evaluate, document and present the results. Students have acquired course-related personal skills through communicative discussion in seminars / practical training.
