교과 설명 (Course Description)

Physical methods in Chemistry II is a laboratory class offering a set of experiments in modern physical, analytical, inorganic, and polymer chemistry. This hands-on lab class is designed to help students gain conceptional understanding of the principles, basic experimental skills, and knowledge on modern chemical instrumentation as well as further the development of problem solving skills for related real life chemical processes. The training in this class also includes communication skills (report and oral presentation) and literature search. The ultimate goal of this course is to teach students essential background knowledge and skill sets they need to carry out chemical research.

List of experiments (tentative)
(1) Synthesis and Optical Properties of Quantum Dots (UV-vis, PL)
(2) Nanofabrication by Polymer Self-Assembly (UV-vis, SEM)
(3) Color-Tunable Light-Emitting Polymers via the Controlled Oxidation of MEH-PPV (UV-Vis, PL)
(4) Synthesis, Electrochemistry and Luminescences of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (UV-Vis, PL, CV)

교과목표 (Purpose of the Course of Study)

The main goal of this class is to teach students laboratory skills and methodology in modern chemistry using advanced instrumentation. Students will gain conceptional understanding of the principles, experimental skills, scientific communication skills, and problem solving skills through this class.

교재 및 참고문헌 (Teaching Material and References)

The lab manual and other necessary information will be provided through cyber campus (cyber.ewha.ac.kr).

성적 평가 방법 및 기준 (Evaluation Protocol)

The course consists of 4 experiments. Experiments will be performed in groups, typically composed of two or three students. While students carry out the experiments together, it is strictly required that the data analysis and report writing should be done independently. The lab report for each experiment must be submitted in time to obtain the full credit.
