Learning outcomes
The acquisition of skills and abilities of the theoretical description of the atomic-spatial structure of crystals, which are based on the analysis of point and space symmetry groups. The mastering the methods and principles of solving structural crystallography problems and their application in experimental structural analysis by X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction methods.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the laws of classical electrodynamics, optics and atomic physics, as well as the basics of mathematical analysis and theory of functions of complex variables. Be able to apply previous knowledge of analytical geometry and linear algebra, vector and tensor analysis to describe coordinate transformations
Course content
The course "Crystal Structure of Solids" considers the basic principles of describing the atomic-spatial structure of crystalline solids, namely, construction and properties of point and spatial groups of symmetry of crystals, physical properties of crystals due to symmetry of the crystal lattice, and defects of atomic-spatial structure real crystals. The educational task of the course is to master the principles of describing the atomic-spatial structure of crystals and their application to solve problems of structural analysis related to determining the basic characteristics of the crystal lattice.

Assessment methods and criteria
1. Modular test 1 (10 points - 18 points). 2. Protection of laboratory works 1,2 (8 points - 12 points). P.1 and P.2. forms an overall assessment of the first content module. 3. Modular test 2 (10 points - 18 points). 4. Protection of laboratory work 3.4 (8 points - 12 points). P.3 and P.4. forms an overall assessment of the second content module. Final assessment in the form of an exam. A student is not admitted to the exam if he scored less than 36 points per semester. The grade for the exam cannot be lower than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
