Instructors:
Prof. Aleksandar Kremenović |
|
Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 5 |
|
Prerequisites: Instrument and methods in crystallography 1, Instrument and methods in crystallography 2 |
Course Objectives:
How modern instruments used in crystallography are created and how they work is subject of investigation. |
Learning Outcomes:
After passing a course, students should be familiar with theoretical basis in the field of modern crystallographic instruments for X-ray and neutron diffraction of single crystal and polycrystalline materials. |
Content:
Theory teaching
Neutron diffraction. Properties of neutron. Neutrons production. Spallation. Nuclear fission. Nuclear reactors. Classification of reactors. Fast neutrons moderation. Moderators. Interaction between a neutron and an atom. Scattering of neutrons from atoms. Interaction between a neutron and a magnetic atom. Scattering of neutrons from magnetic atoms. Magnetic structures. Optic and detection of neutrons. Safety procedures and neutron radiation. Modern X-ray diffraction sources. X-ray tube with rotating anode. Synchrotron radiation. X-ray production in a synchrotrone radiation source. Injectors. Radiation produced with aid of bending magnets. Practical teaching
Practical exercises are closely connected to lectures. One seminar work is planed to be realized. |
