Course content
The course focuses on the latest trends in the field of inorganic materials both from basic research point of view and from technological point of view. The subject is based on inorganic chemistry of elements with emphasis on their technical use. This is followed the basics of crystallography and symmetry of molecules, material thermodynamics, phase transformations, phase equilibrium and phase diagrams, microstructure and mechanical properties. The course is complemented by the lectures of experts from the research and the technological practice.
