Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to gain knowledge of the technology of preparation of special materials in the form of polycrystalline powders with a defined distribution of particles, single crystals, thin layers, thick layers, optical and inorganic glass and crystalline fibers. At the same time, applications of individual materials in electronics, telecommunications or various other industries are discussed
Students get knowledge on the advanced technologies of materials preparation.
