Learning outcomes:
To gain knowledge and practical experience in the field of experimental methods used in materials science.

Brief course content:
1. Methods of the study of bulk and surface structure of materials (diffraction techniques: RTG, neutron, electron, and optical electron microscopy, electron tunneling microscopy, ultrasound methods,...).
2. Methods of investigation of mechanical and thermal properties of materials (static and dynamic methods of measurements of mechanical characteristics, heating and thermodynamical methods, thermo-mechanical methods, DTA, DSC, TMA, DTG,...).
3. Methods of the study of electrical properties of materials (static and dynamic methods of measurements of electrical quantities of conductors, isolators, ferroelectric materials, thermally stimulated depolarization currents, dielectric loss, semiconductor characteristics,...).
4. Methods of investigation of magnetic properties (static and dynamic methods of measurements of magnetic quantities and magnetization processes of materials, Hall effect,...).
5. Methods exploiting electromagnetic and particle radiation (emission and absorption in IR, VIS, UV, and RTG ranges of radiation, radiometric methods, systems of detection and principles of their use).
