The course provides theoretical and experimental knowledge of the detection of ionizing radiation and a good knowledge on measurement technique. The course covers the measurement of small currents and charges, pulse height analysis, statistics and deadtime corrections. Gas-, scintillation- and semiconductor detectors are treated, as well as neutron detectors etc. It also covers gamma spectroscopy […]

Pulverdiffraktion med Röntgenstrålning och Neutroner inom Materialkemi, 7,5 hp
Pulverdiffraktion med röntgenstrålning och neutroner inom materialkemi, Spring, Stockholm University
Structural biochemistry, 15 hp
The course aims to give insights into protein structure, how it can be modelled and experimentally determined. We start by discussing the forces that drive proteins to fold into three-dimensional structures. Then we look at different databases and discuss homology modelling, i.e. how one can model a protein’s three-dimensional structure if one knows the structure […]
Scattering methods, 7.5 hp
The aim of the course is for the student to acquire basic knowledge and understanding of different scattering methods used to study structural and dynamic properties of colloidal dispersions. The course begins with basic scattering theory, followed by a presentation of various experimental methods such as Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), Small Angle X-Ray Scattering […]

Synchrotron- and Neutron based Experimental Methods and Applications, 15 hp
Purpose The course objective is for the student to develop an understanding of the theories for — as well as application, analysis and modelling of — experimental resources for synchrotron light and neutron radiation designs. Contents The course focuses on experimental methods and techniques available with synchrotron light and neutron radiation designs (such as ESS […]
Neutron Scattering, 10 hp
Neutrons offer a unique probe to address questions highly relevant to condensed matter research. In addition to the structure also the dynamics as well as magnetism can be studied. This is related to the characteristics of the neutron and the type of interaction with a sample differing from, e.g. x-rays or electrons. In this course […]
