COURSE GOALS: To learn about X-ray diffraction methods of determination of crystal and molecular structures.
LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
1.1. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the fundamental laws of classical and modern physics
1.2. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the most important chemistry laws and theories
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
2.2. describe important aspects of chemical change
2.9. use information and communication technology efficiently (to foster active enquiry, collaboration and interaction in the classroom);
5. LEARNING SKILLS
5.1. search for and use professional literature as well as any other sources of relevant information
LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
1. Understanding advantage/dissadvantage of X-ray structure analysis for specific samples in comparison to other diffraction methods (neutron and electron diffraction).
2. Describing sources and detectors of X-rays, neutrons and electrons.
3. Usage of the basic concepts of symmetry, crystal lattice, diffraction and intesities of diffracted maxima.
4. Describing the problem of phases.
5. Collection of diffraction data, solving and refining crystal structures and their graphical presentation by using the appropriate programs.
6. Searching crystallographic databases.
