            Course content
        
        
            The course "Experimental Methods of Nanosystems" considers a complex of phenomena that occur during the diffraction and absorption of X-rays by small-sized and nano-sized systems of various nature, the interaction of probes of various types with the surface of condensed systems, as well as the passage of light rays through submicron diaphragms and allow obtaining information about atomic -spatial, electronic and magnetic structure of nanosystems. The learning outcomes are the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to plan experimental studies of nanosystems by scanning probe microscopy, low-angle X-ray scattering, EXAFS, confocal and near-field optical microscopy, explanation of physical properties of nanosystems, evaluation of the experimental accuracy.

            Assessment methods and criteria
        
        
             1. Modular test 1 (10 points - 15 points). 2. Protection of laboratory works 1 - 3 (9 points - 18 points). P.1 and P.2. forms an overall assessment of the first content module. 3. Modular test 2 (10 points - 15 points). 4. Protection of laboratory work 4.5 (7 points - 12 points). P.3 and P.4. forms an overall assessment of the second content module. Final assessment in the form of an exam. A student is not admitted to the exam if he scored less than 36 points per semester. The grade for the exam cannot be lower than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
