Main Objectives
- to give theoretical knowledge about physical and chemical aspects of microscopic methods;
- profound theoretical development of the basic representations about features of materials;
- forming of knowledge about application opportunities of modern methods to research features of structure and chemical state of the materials used as catalysts.
Learning Outcomes
Formation of competence:
а) intercultural:
- know the basic concepts of English language in the Principles of physics and application of electron microscopy and related techniques; physical principles, ad-vantages and disadvantages of each microscopic methods considered within the course; application of the results obtained by microscopic methods;
b) professional:
- be able to explain the data obtained with microscopic methods, use the data, apply the skills and knowledge in writing of articles, abstracts unassisted; apply the basic concepts of microscopic methods in explaining the theoretical material and ana-lyzing the experimental data;
- have skills: working with the calculated formulas to solve computational problems on the details of the microstructure of materials; modeling and prediction of the properties of catalysts and catalytic processes; reviewing scientific and methodical literature.
