| (*)Upon completion of the course they will be able to
• prepare and analyze a metallographic sample represented by cutting, embedding, grinding and polishing steps (k2, k3, k4, k5)
• understand the experimental basics of impedance spectroscopy by using an LCR meter (k1, k2, k3, k5)
• use the dedicated software for analysis of XRD diffractograms and interpret the raw results obtained from an X-ray diffraction experiment (k2, k3, k5)
• understand the basics of vacuum technology for industrial applications exemplified by thermal evaporation of Al using a self-developed system (k2, k4, k5)
• use their theoretical knowledge for interpretation of a thermodynamic triple point (of water) during observation of phase transitions under vacuum (k1, k2, k5)

(*)The course is divided into five consecutive sections addressing the following investigative parts:
• metallography – optical microscopy
• impedance spectroscopy – basic electrical characterization of an electrical system
• X-ray diffraction analysis – crystallographic materials characterization
• thermal evaporation - thin film technology
• applied thermodynamics
