Learning outcomes
After a pass mark on course, the student should be able to
- describe the principles for the structure of solids
- describe specific crystal structures by applying crystallographic basic concepts
- account for the generation and effects of X-ray radiation on matter
- describe the experimental use of the diffraction phenomenon
- use powder diffraction data for characterising cubic substances
- relate intensity mathematically to structural parameters and derive extinction conditions
- use crystallographic data for a validated phase analysis
- analyse thermograms and phase diagrams in known systems
Content
Fundamentals regarding the solid state, including selected structural examples. Theoretical and practical crystallography. Unary and binary phase diagrams. X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and orientation about other characterisation techniques.
Instruction
Lectures, lessons and laboratory work.
Assessment
Written examination at the end of the course. For passing the course, passed laboratory course is also required. The laboratory course is marked to 1 HE credits.
