Module code: IM2A_ PS1_PFAN
Programme code: W4-S2MAI19.2025
Semester: summer semester 2025/2026
Language of instruction: Polish
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 3
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module Phase transitions in amorphous and nanocrystalline materials shall enable students classifying phase transitions and understanding, interpreting and analysing phenomena related to phase transitions and their influence on properties of amorphous and nanocrystalline materials. Owing to that students will be capable of reconstructing, explaining, planning and using technologies utilising phase transitions in amorphous and nanocrystalline materials. They will have a possibility to adapt the existing and to design new technologies.
