After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• analyse a sample qualitatively with EDXRF/qualitatively by XRD
• decide which application is useful for XRF, micro-XRF, TXRF and secondary target XRF
• to deconvolute X-ray spectra
• to perform simple quantitative analysis/perform simple quantiative phase analytics by XRD

• Energy dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Analysis (EDXRF)
• Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence Analysis (TXRF)
• Micro-XRF
• Secondary target XRF
•  Quantification, Calibration, Trace element analysis
• Qualitative/quantitative phase analysis of polycrystalline materials by X-ray diffraction methods (solid-state materials, thin films)

After an introduction to  the topic the analysis is demonstrated. Further measurements, data evaluation and interpretations is performed by the students. Concluding a final report should demonstrate that the individual methods are understood and results are presented

written report and final discussion
