Scattering Techniques for Investigating Soft Matter

In the summer semester 2026, Dr. habil. Pierre Bauduin from France / CEA Marcoule (homepage: https://www.icsm.fr/index.php?pagendx=app_1718&project=icsm_engl) will be a guest at the chair of Prof. Kunz.
During his stay, he will offer a lecture titled “Scattering Techniques for Investigating Soft Matter” (53141) as part of the Aufbaumodul II in Physical Chemistry, worth 6 ECTS credits.

Short description of the contents of the course:
The lecture will focus on the interaction of radiation with matter, primarily through scattering phenomena using X-rays, neutrons, and light (laser), with an emphasis on investigating soft matter systems. The course will concentrate on practical applications rather than theory, providing only an introduction to the necessary theoretical concepts. Practical examples will be presented and analyzed by students. Whenever possible, students will directly engage with practical exercises using PC-based computer simulations and fitting of scattering curves. General concepts and theorems will be explored through examples such as micellar systems, surfactants, lyotropic phases, mesoporous materials, and supramolecular chemistry.

5 sessions on Wednesdays, 8–10 a.m. (Ch 11.2.11)
4 sessions on Fridays, 12–3 p.m. (Ch 11.2.11)

A written exam will be offered afterwards.
