Academic year 2023/2024 |
Supervisor: | Ing. Ondřej Man, Ph.D. | |||
Supervising institute: | ÚMVI | |||
Teaching language: | English | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The course objective is to offer the students an overview and also the theoretical knowledge on principles of all basic methods for analyses of structure of materials and its phase composition, including sample preparation techniques. Based on practical demonstrations, the students will gain basic overview of procedures and methods used to solve problems and analysing results. Based on this knowledge, the student should be able to select appropriate analytical techniqe to solve practical problems in materials' engineering. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
Students will learn the principles, application range and limitations of the basic methods for structural and phase analyses, including samples' extraction and preparation. Based on this knowledge, the student should be able to select appropriate analytical techniqe to solve practical problems in material engineering. |
||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Requirements on previous knowledge is: physics basics (mechanics, electricity, magnetism and quantum theory) and mathematics (differential, integral and matrix calculus, statistics) as provided during BSc studies. Further, the knowledge on solid matter physics and crytsallography is required (crystal systems/lattices, reciprocal space, kinematic and dynamic diffraction theory, pole figure, basic stereographic triangle). | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
The course covers the folowing topics (with various degree of detail): |
||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the given technique. Teaching is suplemented by practical demonstrations. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
Teaching is supported by the BUT e-learning system. Attendance in practical lessons is compulsory. Absence from classes is dealt with individually, usually by make-up exercises. The exam is only written, in the form of on-line test. The course-unit credit is granted under condition of elaboration of the assigned projects. |
||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Compulsory attendance at exercises. Absence from classes is dealt with individually, usually by make-up exercises. | ||||
Type of course unit: | ||||
Lecture | 13 × 3 hrs. | optionally | ||
Laboratory exercise | 13 × 2 hrs. | compulsory | ||
Course curriculum: | ||||
Lecture | The topics of the subject are going to be lectured in the following indicative order (actual order will be established according to organizational opportunities): |
|||
Laboratory exercise | Topics of the subject will be tought in the following indicative order. Actual order, eventually also grouping of topics, is subject to opportunities in organizing the practical lessons: - light microscopy and image analysis - laser scanning confocal microscopy (CLSM) - scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - energy- and wave-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS, WDS) - electron backscatter difraction (EBSD) - focused ion beam microscopy (FIB) - transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM,STEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and EDS in TEM - sample preparation techniques for SEM and TEM - X-ray diffraction (XRD), phase composition assessment |
