Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

3

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

prof. RNDr. František Krčma, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Physical and Applied Chemistry (ÚFSCH)

Entry knowledge

Practice couses from inorganic and physical chemistry and practical course from physics.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Working group gives one protocol form each practical task together. The classification is dependent on the average protocol level and also on the work during the exercises.
Attendance is required and preparedness for independent working on the experiment is checked by teacher. Students work in small groups (usually two students).

Aims

The course gives the practice knowledge in plasmachemistry background, plasma diagnostics and with selected plasmachemical applications and technologies, too.
Students obtain practice knowledge with plasmachemistry background, plasma diagnostics and with selected plasmachemical applications and technologies in laboratory scale, too.

Study aids
