The course focuses on practical characterization of nanoparticles using powder X-ray diffraction, total scattering and pair distribution function analysis, and small angle X-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation. Hands on experience at state of the art instrumentation will train the students in performing experiments at synchrotron facilities. The aim of the course is to highlight the complementarity, differences and strengths of the individual techniques and give the students the tools to make an informed selection of a beamline/instrument and in addition to design an experiment for a specific problem.
