1. “Diffraction and spectroscopy for thin film and heterostructures characterization” (for Ph.D. students, 3 credits)
- Lecturer: Dmitry Tsymbarenko
The course deals with modern instrumental methods for studying thin-film materials and heterostructures — X-ray diffraction (various geometries), X-ray reflectometry, Electron BackScattering Diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, X-ray photoelectron and Auger electron spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy. The hardware and software issues are considered.
2. “Synthesis and properties of inorganic compounds and materials: coordination compounds” (for 6-year students of Chemistry Department)
- Lecturers: Natalia Kuzmina, Dmitry Tsymbarenko, Artem Makarevich, Vlodimir Dolzhenko, Igor Korsakov, Andrey Kaul
The course deals with basic concepts of coordination chemistry, thermodynamic and kinetic regularities of complexation reactions and methods for the synthesis of coordination compounds. It overviews the groups of elements in Periodic Table and their ability to form coordination compounds. Theoretical approaches to the description of the structure, reactivity and properties of coordination compounds are considered. Application of coordination compounds as precursors for materials are discussed.
