Course content
X-ray based research methods play a significant role in the crystal structure determination, these methods are also used for determination of the phase composition of crystalline samples and elemental composition. The program of the course "X-Ray Based Research Methods " includes: methods of polychromatic and monochromatic X-rays generation, interaction of X-rays with matter, the conditions for obtaining a diffraction pattern from polycrystalline and monocrystalline samples and X-ray fluorescence spectra. Particular attention is paid to the study of the basics of methods of qualitative and quantitative X-ray phase analysis and X-ray fluorescence analysis.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures (with the use of computer presentations), laboratory work, self-study
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester control includes modular tests (written), homework, oral presentations, presentations and defense of laboratory work. The evaluation is based on a 100-point system. Maximum / minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student for a semester grade of 60 points / 36 points. The final assessment is conducted in the form of a written exam. The maximum / minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student in the exam is 40 points / 24 points.
