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 s...
