Internship

Participation in the corresponding lecture is a prerequisite for participation in the internship. This includes experiments in the fields of rod dosimeter and local dose rate meter, Geiger-Müller counter tube, proportional counter tube, contamination monitor and neutron sources (not for teacher candidates) or naturally occurring radioactive substances (only for teacher candidates). The internship is carried out as a block internship in groups of maximum 8 persons. Usually it takes place in two consecutive weeks with three afternoon sessions each. For student teachers, it should be noted that all experiments carried out during the internship are basically suitable as student experiments.

Within the scope of the practical course, different fluorescence-emitting metal ions will be investigated by time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). The lanthanide ions europium(III) and gadolinium(III) (Eu3+ and Gd3+) and the actinide ion UO2+ will be investigated. The experiments to be carried out will provide insights into the chemical environment of the ions, investigate the fluorescence quenching properties of some substances and determine the temperature of a sample via the intensity ratios of emission bands. The practical test will be carried out in groups of two persons. As a rule, it takes place on nine half days within three weeks in the winter semester.

The trial is not an independent event. Registration and organization will take place within the framework of the course "Laborpraktikum Atom- und Molekülphysik", which is supervised by the Institute of Quantum Optics.
