Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module a student should be able to:
1. Fully understand the connection between the properties of materials and crystals and their structure, thus recognize the application range of each material.
2. Identify the structure and characteristics of the matter using X-rays characterization.
3. To use specific crystallography softwares to characterize the materials and solve issues related to their identification.
4. Understand the structural characteristics of a wide range of materials such as coatings, thin films, thermoelectrics, polymers, etc which are currently used in several advanced technological fields.
5. Realize the connection between the Physics of Crystals to other scientific fields such as Chemistry, Mineralogy, Metallurgy, Materials Science, etc.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
