Hours of instruction: |
Weekly: four hours of lectures + two hours of exercises + three hours of labwork (4+2+3) |
Goals: |
The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge of advanced methods of synthesis and characterization of solid-state materials, as well as their electrical, magnetic and optical properties and applications. |
Outcome: |
After passing the exam students will be able to:
- describe advanced methods of synthesis and characterization of substances in the solid state;
- select the most appropriate synthesis method, as well as characterization methods, in order to accurately describe the structure and properties of selected inorganic substances;
- interpret the results of X-ray structural analysis of simple crystalline structures of inorganic and organic substances;
- use crystallographic programs and databases (up to intermediate level);
- interpret phase diagrams and results of thermal analysis;
- describe main applications of solid-state materials.
