Course objectives
This course presents to the students chosen modern experimental methods in solid state physics, such as inelastic neutron scattering, coherent scattering of synchrotron radiation, some spectroscopic and growth methods etc. The content of the lecture will be modified to include most recent methods.

The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe chosen modern experimental methods in solid state physics.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- understand the functionality of synchrotron radiation facility;
- understand the usage of synchrotron radiation techniques;
- understand growth and analysis methods in solid state physics;
- understand applications with neutron radiation;
