The class "Laboratory of Materials Characterization" consists of two modules, the first one on the physical field and the second one on the physico-chemical field. Both modules are devoted to the instrumental methods useful for the structural, morphological, and compositional investigation of various types of materials.
The class aims to provide the theoretical foundations and practical knowledge essential for the use of the various instrumental techniques typically employed for the characterization of different classes of materials.
Basic knowledge of chemistry and physics is required.

Students, in groups, will prepare reports on the experimental activities for each laboratory experience. They will also take an oral exam to assess the topics covered in class.
For further details, please refer to the relevant section of each module.
The assessment consists of a discussion of the lab notebooks and reports, and an oral exam in which questions related to the topics covered during the lectures will be asked. The quality of the presentation, the correct use of specialized vocabulary, and the ability to reason critically with respect to specific cases presented by the instructors will also be assessed.
