EP 405 Analytical Techniques (Autumn 2017-18)

Instructor Name: Prof. Kantimay Dasgupta

Course Type: Theory

Pre-requisites: Introduction to Condensed Matter Physics

Course Content:
1. X-Ray Diffraction
2. Electron and Neutron Diffraction
3. Spectroscopic Techniques - X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS), Photoluminescence, ARPES, 
Raman & Brillouin Scattering for Phonon Bandstructure  
4. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Books:
No books, only lecture notes.

Lectures: The professor effectively used both slides and the blackboard. No attendance policy.

Assignments:
Ungraded tutorials were given and discussed very extensively in class. 

Exams and Grading:
1 Midsem, 1 Endsem, 2 Quizzes - Questions are fairly numerical and one usually deals with real experimental data. 

Follow-up Courses: Could be helpful for labs in Solid State Physics.

Pro-tips: Attend all tutorial classes as the questions in the exam are fairly similar.
