Description:
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.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the modules: physics, chemistry, crystallography, materials testing methods and thermodynamics.
