ECTS credits: 3
Description:
The module X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction shall enable students understanding and mastering theoretical basics of engineering materials testing methods, using X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction. Owing to that students shall achieve a better understanding of correlations between engineering materials structure and their properties. The understanding of those relationships and correlations shall result in deepening the skill to define a research problem, to choose properly research methods and analyses adequate to the engineering material type and degree of its ordering.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the modules: physics (solid state physics), mathematics, crystallography, materials testing methods
