NFYK13015U Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
MSc Programme in Physics
MSc Programme in Nanoscience
This course is an introduction to current experimental techniques to study magnetism in materials: magnetisation and susceptibility, Mössbauer spectroscopy, NMR, muon spin resonance, and neutron scattering. The physical basis of the techniques and typical data and examples are presented. The course contains one project, based upon laboratory work or analysis of data taken elsewhere.
Skills
The student should be able to
- Describe the principles in a series of magnetic measurement techniques including magnetization, susceptibility, Mossbauer spectroscopy, NMR, muon spin ressonance, and neutron scattering
- Describe the theoretical background for medical MR imaging
- Explain the magnetic properties of selected materials, e.g. nanoparticles
Knowledge
The course gives an introduction to selected experimental
techniques for studying magnetic materials, currently used by
research groups in the Copenhagen area. The course will comprise
the topics:
- Bulk magnetic measurement techniques: magnetisation and susceptibility
- Mossbauer spectroscopy
- NMR, including MR imaging
- Muon spin resonance
- Magnetic neutron scattering.
Competences
This course will provide the students with a background for further
experimental studies within this research field, e.g. further
courses, or a M.Sc. project.
In addition, the student will learn how to connect theoretical
models and experimental methods.
