Course content

General scattering theory applied to examples from dynamic ligth scattering (DLS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS and SAXS). Three lab-exercises (DLS, SANS, WAXS) including report that will be graded.

Learning outcome

The student shall know general scattering theory applied to examples from dynamic light-scattering (DLS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS and SAXS). The student shall know simple data-analysis from DLS, SANS, WAXS experiments, including knowledge about standard experimental set-ups, which factors determine experimental resolutions etc.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures given by professors. Three obligatory lab exercises (DLS, WAXS, SANS (potentially including a travel to an international neutron facility, for example ESS in Lund in Sweden)). Each lab report must be passed. Each student will give an presentation based on a scientific article given to the student about 2 weeks prior to the presentation. Obligatory oral final exam must be passed.

Further on evaluation

Partial assessment: 3x 20% tasks, 40% oral exam.
