Learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the principles concerning solid state structures
- describe specific crystal structures by applying basic crystallographic concepts
- give an account of the generation of X-ray radiation and its effects of on matter
- describe the experimental use of the diffraction phenomenon
- use powder diffraction data for characterising cubic substances
- relate diffraction intensities 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 introduction to other characterisation techniques
Instruction
Lectures, tutorials and laboratory work.
Assessment
Written examination (4 credits). The laboratory course corresponds to 1 credit.
