2025-03_Diffraction Methods in (Bio)Polymer and Nanosciences

The student will be introduced into the general concepts of diffraction by x-rays, electrons and neutrons. The focus is on the study of Soft-Matter and Nanoobjects by these methods including Wide-and Small angle scattering as well as inelastig scattering. The evaluation of structural data of highly disordered systems as polymer are will be addressed as well as the verification of colloidal structures in dynamic systems. As part of the nanobiophysics curriculum the course addresses students , including PhD students in life sciences with a focus on biomaterials , biophysics as well as students from materials sciences in particular with respect to soft matter.
