On October 17th and 18th we took part in the “2nd Joint PhD seminar”. During the meeting young scientists from the AGH University of Science and Technology, Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and Institute for Materials Science of Technical University Dresden presented their new original results in scientific talks or posters. The topics covered included a wide variety of engineering materials, materials processing and advanced methods for materials characterization.

During October :
- I was investigating the spin coated Si wafer by SEM obserwations and optical measurements. Observed improvement of reflection reduction vanishes after washing the sample. Only few silver NPs were found by SEM observations. This work undermines previously obtained results and NPs-caused cell enhancement. Most probable explanation of cell improovement is formation of quasi antireflection coating from other solution compounds.
- I attended in general AFM and FTIR instruction.
- I performed SEM observations of photochemically prepared samples. Most important fingig was diveristy of particles shape with the beam intensity changes across one sample .

During this month it was possible form me to participate in course about scanning electron microscopy with many practical sessions. I started to use SEM by myself.

In October I participate in Joint PhD Seminar which took place at AGH University of Science and Technologyy, where I presented the results of my work in the form of speech entitled „Electrodeposition and characterization of Zn-Mo coatings for corrosion protection of steel”.
I also listened to several presentations by other students from Interstudia Project as well as from TU Dresden and from AGH.

The continuation of the EMF study in liquid ternary alloys.
An assessment of the ternary interaction parmeters for thermodynamic description of the liquid state. Modelling the excess and molar function s in concentration function for the investigated ternary metallic system.
