Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- explain key spectroscopic methods as well as methods used for structural characterization (k1/k2);
- describe and compare the different techniques, based on the underlying physical principles (k2/k3);
- explain the extractable information and characteristic limitations of the discussed techniques (k3/k4);
- critically assess common experimental techniques (k4/k5).

During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of spectroscopy and structural analysis:
- interaction of electromagnetic radiation with condensed matter;
- spectroscopic analysis methods: vibration (phonon) spectra, optical excitation and luminescence;
- setup of spectrometers;
- interaction of X-rays with matter: investigation of crystal lattice structure and nanostructures using diffraction and reflectivity methods;
- spectroscopic methods using X-rays.
