Name of subject: Crystallography of Advanced Materials – Selected Topics |
Instructors:
Prof. Sabina Kovač |
|
Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 10 |
|
Prerequisites: None |
Course Objectives:
Use of crystallographic databases and crystallographic programs in the examination of modern materials: ceramics, alloys, cements, etc. Testing the relationships between crystallographic parameters and material properties. Use of modern crystallographic methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the composition of monophase and polyphase samples of various materials. Application of different programs and methods for calculating the parameters of the unit cell and microstructural parameters. |
Learning Outcomes:
During this course, students will learn (using crystallographic databases and crystallographic programs) to: identify crystalline phases; determine the content of particular crystal phases in the multiphase sample; determine the microstructural parameters of each present phase; determine the influence of thermodynamic, chemical and other parameters on the change in the structure and properties of the materials . During this course, students will learn to use Rietveld method and refine crystallographic parameters of known structures of examined crystalline phases. |
Content:
Theory teaching
Synthesis, structure, chemical and phase composition of contemporary materials. Some problems in identifying single-phase and multi-phase systems. Measuring the intensity of the diffraction lines and calculating the mass fraction of the individual phases by different methods. Relationship between crystallographic parameters and material properties. Crystalline and amorphous state. Ordered and disordered structures. Determination of the crystallite size and other microstructural parameters based on the width of the diffraction lines. Phase transformation and formation of solid solutions. Investigation of phase transformations during the process "Raw materials-Technological processes-Final products". Relation "Structure-Properties-Application" with particular reference to the predefined properties of the new materials. Practical teaching
