Courses
At KTH there are several PhD and Masters courses more or less focusing on large-scale techniques.
PhD courses
Characterization Techniques in Materials Physics using Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation 7.5 credits
A 7.5 credits PhD level course on the application of neutron and synchrotron radiation for materials characterization will be given in the winter 2021-2022.
Synchrotron Characterization Methods in Fibre and Polymer Technology – Theory
Theoretical descriptions on X-ray interaction with matter, basics of synchrotron radiation and x-ray sources, refraction and reflection from interfaces, diffraction: X-ray diffraction, grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering, scattering: X-ray reflectivity, small-angle X-ray scattering, grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and coherence: Coherent diffraction imaging, X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy.
FKF3420 "Synchrotron Characterization Methods in Fibre and Polymer Technology - Theory" [2 ECTS]
X-ray physics and applications 7.5 credits
The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of materials and methods in modern x-ray physics. Important issues are x-ray optical properties of different materials, x-ray optics and detectors, present and future x-ray sources and x-ray analytical methods.
FSK3551 "X-ray Physics and Applications" [7.5 ECTS]
FMH3926 Introduction to x-ray diffraction with applications in materials science and metallurgy 5.0 credits
FMH3926 Introduction to x-ray diffraction with applications in materials science and metallurgy, which introduces learners to the theory of x-ray diffraction and involves hands-on exercises as well as goes on to outlines considerations when using synchrotron facilities.
FMH3926 Introduction to x-ray diffraction
FKF3420 "Synchrotron Characterization Methods in Fibre and Polymer Technology - Practice" [3 ECTS]
FMH3928 "Neutron och synkrotronkarakterisering för materialteknik" [5 ECTS]
Bachelor and Masters level courses
MH2000 Experimental Methods
At Bachelor and Masters level, within the Materials Design programme, the optional course MH2000 Experimental Methods, which gives an introduction to the common laboratory methods (SEM, XRD, etc) that are used in materials research and characterisation.
