Course content
The course "Phase formation processes in amorphous and nanocrystalline systems" considers both classical and modern achievements in the field of the theory of crystallization and amorphization of metal systems; theory of nucleation of binary and multicomponent systems. The purpose of studying the discipline is to master the basic laws of the theory of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in application to amorphous metal systems. The educational task of the course is to master the methods of calculation and experimental measurements of the main parameters of the crystallization process for specific amorphous systems. The task is to acquaint students with the laws of homogeneous and heterogeneous crystallization for single-component and multicomponent systems, as well as processes of amorphization of metal systems, training in methods of calculating the main characteristics of the crystallization process for specific binary systems.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures - 30 hours, Laboratory work - 30 hours, Self-study - 60 hours, consultations.
Assessment methods and criteria
Interviews during the lecture, checking essays and other forms of independent work. Modular tests. Exam. Two modular tests: (18-24) points. Self-study: (6-12) points. Protection of laboratory works (12-24 points). A student is not allowed to take the exam if he / she scored less than 36 points during the semester. The grade for the exam cannot be less than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
