Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module Nuclear techniques in materials testing shall enable students learning those nuclear physics issues, which constitute the basis for nuclear techniques applications in materials testing and also which are necessary to understand the way of analysis of obtained experimental results and nuclear research methods used in the materials science. Owing to that students shall understand the importance of nuclear techniques not only in the description of materials physio-chemical properties, but also in designing new engineering materials for technical and medical applications. The accomplishment of the above objectives will require learning a number of issues from the field of physics, solid state physics, chemistry, mathematics, numerical methods, and also of mathematical statistics.
