Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
This course is based on knowledge from the course "Crystalochemistry" and knowledge of individual sections from the courses "Physics", "Higher Mathematics", "Instrumental methods of analysis", "Nanochemistry and nanotechnology", "X-ray methods in ecochemistry". The course is used when completing qualifying work for the master's degree.
Course content
The course covers modern methods of studying environmental objects: local X-ray spectral analysis, X-ray spectral fluorescence analysis using total external reflection, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Special attention is paid to the study of the peculiarities of the study of certain types of environmental objects.

Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment: The maximum/minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student: 60 points / 36 points, namely: 1. Module test 1 with topics 1-5: РН1.1 – 15 points / 9 points. 2. Modular control paper 2 with topics 6-11: РН1.2, РН2.2 – 15 points / 9 points. 4. Essay / computer presentation 1: PH1.1, PH1.2 - 15 points / 9 points. 5. Essay / computer presentation 2: PH1.1, PH1.2 - 15 points / 9 points. Final evaluation (in the form of an exam): The maximum/minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student: 40 points / 24 points. Learning outcomes that will be assessed: PH 1.1, PH 1.2, PH 2.1 Form of conduct: written work. Types of tasks: four theoretical questions of 10 points each. To receive an overall positive grade in the discipline, the exam grade cannot be less than 24 points.
