PHYS-637: Electron Matter Interactions in Transmission Electron MicroscopyThis course will present the fundamentals of electronâmatter interactions, as occuring in the energy range available in modern transmission electron microscopes, namely 60-300 keV electrons. Diffraction and high-resolution image formation as well as electron energy-loss spectrometry will be covere
ChE-410: Catalysis for emission control and energy processesThe course is an introduction to heterogeneous catalysis for environmental protection and energy production. It focusses on catalytic exhaust gas cleaning as well as catalytic systems relevant for gaseous and liquid fuel production. The course ends with two days of experimental exercises at PSI.
CH-633: Advanced Solid State and Surface CharacterizationState-of-the-art surface/thin film characterization methods of polycrystalline/nano/amorphous materials. Selected topics from thin film X-ray diffraction (GIWAXS, GISAXS, PDF), electronic and optical spectroscopy (XPS, AES, SERS, TERS), scanning probe and electron microscopy (STM, AFM, HRTEM, SEM).
CH-160(en): Advanced general chemistry (english)This course aims to teach essential notions of the structure of matter, chemical equilibria and reactivity. Classes and exercises provide the means to analyze and solve, by reasoning and calculation, novel problems of geeneral chemistry.
CH-112: Organic chemistryL'objectif de ce cours est de fournir les connaissances et le moyen de comprendre, au niveau moléculaire, le fonctionnement des réactions chimiques organiques. Pendant le cours, l'étudiant réfléchira et résoudra de nouveaux problèmes.
PHYS-724: Ultrafast PhenomenaThe course will cover fundamental concepts and recent developments in the field of ultrafast spectroscopy and introduce the basic theory to understand ultrafast (10-16 - 10-9 s) phenomena in chemistry, biology and condensed matter physics.
PHYS-106(i): General physics : thermodynamicsLe but du cours de Physique générale est de donner à l'étudiant les notions de base nécessaires à la compréhension des phénomènes physiques. L'objectif est atteint lorsque l'étudiant est capable de prévoir quantitativement les conséquences de ces phénomènes avec des outils théoriques appropriés.
