Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Basic knowledge of solid state chemistry and physics, essential rules on relations of structure and properties of materials, orientation in methodes and techniques which uses interacion of different kind of radiation (eventually particles or ions) with studied solid state matter.

Prerequisites

Basic and inorganic chemistry I, II, Physics I, II, Physical chemistry I, II.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The examination is oral with a period of 30 minutes for preparation. There is examinated and evaluated the knowledge of theoretical as well as practical methods of study structure and properties of inorganic materials and orientation in contemporary trends. The volume of the knowledge required is similar to that of lectures content.
