Mastering the methods and principles of planning and performing experimental studies of atomic-spatial structure of crystals, amorphous systems and nanocomposites using modern X-ray diffractometers, acquiring skills and abilities to determine the basic parameters of crystal structure based on X-ray diffraction
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the laws of classical electrodynamics, optics, atomic physics and quantum mechanics, as well as the basics of mathematical analysis and the theory of function of a complex variable. Be able to apply previous knowledge of mathematical analysis, differential and integral equations and mathematical physics to solve problems of electrodynamics, atomic physics and quantum mechanics. Have the skills to integrate rational functions, convert complex numbers, solve equations into partial derivatives, process experimental data and build graphs using the software package "Origin".
Course content
The course " The X-ray scattering theory and methods of X-ray diffraction analysis" considers the range of phenomena that occur during the diffraction of X-rays on atomic spatial structures in crystals, amorphous substances, liquids and low-dimensional structures and allow to obtain information about a atomic-spatial structuru of such objects. The educational task of the course is to master the methods and principles of practical application of X-ray diffraction: determining the parameters of the unit cell, the spatial group of the crystal, the coordinates of atoms in the unit cell, The learning outcomes are the ability to apply methods of X-ray diffraction analysis to describe the structural properties of condensed systems.

Assessment methods and criteria
1. Modular test 1 (8 points - 14 points). 2. Protection of laboratory works 1 - 4 (10 points - 16 points). P.1 and P.2. forms an overall assessment of the first content module. 3. Modular test 2 (8 points - 14 points). 4. Protection of laboratory work 5 - 8 (10 points - 16 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.
