Learning outcomes
Students will be introduced to four methods of determining the chemical composition of materials, both from a microscopic point of view using EDS (Electron Dispersion Spectrometry) and from the methods that are often used in practice, due to the universality of their use and easy evaluation of measurements. The course will explain the basic principles of all methods, and attention will be paid to the preparation of samples before the actual measurement. Subsequently, various types of materials will be measured and the measurement of chemical composition will be evaluated by students. Another part of the teaching realized within the course is to acquaint students with the area of ??material testing. Students are acquainted with the field of destructive testing of basic mechanical properties of materials. The course also includes an introduction to the basic methods of working with a light microscope. The area of ??material structure analysis by means of a light microscope is followed by acquaintance with methods of surface analysis of machine parts, both contact and non-contact. Course contents 1. EDS analysis - principle of the method, sample preparation, measurement of selected samples of materials. 2. Optical emission spectrometry - principle of the method, sample preparation, measurement of selected samples of materials. 3. X-ray and Raman spectrometry - principle of the method, sample preparation, measurement of selected samples of materials. 4. Testing of mechanical properties of the material - principles of sample preparation, specifics of individual tests, testing of samples. 5. Light microscopy - sample preparation, basic tasks, structure and microstructure analysis, sample analysis. 6. Surface analysis - specifics of individual contact and contactless devices, sample preparation, surface measurement of samples. 7. Measurement methodology, error theory, sensors of non-electrical quantities, preparation of the experiment, and dynamic properties of measuring systems. 8. Transformation, transmission, processing and use of information about the monitored process and its application to issues in other areas of solid state engineering. 9. Measurement of physical properties of materials, such as material dilatation, thermal conductivity, volume changes, eg in connection with crystallization of the material, or its magnetic properties and their measurements.

Prerequisites
Students will become familiar with the use of instrumentation and measurement technology in solving production problems. Detailed students learn in general practice in dealing with individual production, technical and material problems from the description of the problem, its analysis, opportunities and solution phase, using výzkumních and measuring techniques, verification and optimization of operation etc.
