• Practical synthesis of nanomaterials with and withouth surface modification by polymers. For the preparation, the chemical, mechanochemical and thermal procedures will be employed.
• The detailed characterization of the prepared nanomaterials by means of: X-ray powder diffraction; X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy; Thermal analysis; Mössbauer spectroscopy; Scanning probe microscopy (scanning tunneling microscopy – STM, atomic force microscopy – AFM, magnetic force microscopy – MFM); Scanning electron microscopy; Transmission electron microscopy; Infrared, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy; Measurement of magnetic propertied – SQUID magnetometer; Measurement of specific surface area – BET method; Measurement of particle size using dynamic light scattering – DLS; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
• Analysis and interpretation of the results from all allpied instrumental methods.
