  X-ray scattering methods for structural analysis of bio-based materials

   

   

  Time: 14.4.-15.5.2020 (contact teaching during weeks 17-18)

  Place: Aalto University, Otaniemi Campus The course will be organized online only, more information will follow.
  

  Number of credits: 5 cr

  Teachers: Paavo Penttilä (paavo.penttila@aalto.fi), Ville Liljeström

  The target of the course is to introduce the students to X-ray-based structural characterization methods (both in theory and in practice) and initiate the application of these methods in the students’ own research.

  The topics covered include:

  ·         Generation of X-rays and their interaction with matter

  ·         Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS)/X-ray diffraction (XRD)

  ·         Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)

  ·         Scattering data analysis related to bio-based materials

  ·         Practical aspects of scattering experiments

  Teaching will be organized in the form of lectures, demonstrations, group work, and independent studying. Grading will be Pass/Fail. Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, the teaching of the course will be organized online only.
  

  Registration to the course of 2020 is finished. The course will be organized also in spring 2021 and 2022.
