Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Contents:
Structural building blocks and chemical bonds
Principles of short-range and long-range order
Structure types and structural relationships
The real structure of crystals
Basics of the crystal chemistry of geomaterials

Goals:
Students will learn the principles of structural chemistry of inorganic crystals and their three-dimensional atomic long-range order. They will distinguish between structural chemical ordering principles and structural topologies. They will be introduced to structural variations, graphically represented, and interpret stereochemical parameters. They will learn the various characteristics of the real structure of minerals, such as lattice vacancies, defects, and inclusions, and the effects of defects on physical and chemical properties.

Assessment and permitted materials

The assessment will be conducted based on the presentation prepared by the student and the following oral examination.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course is aimed at all students of earth sciences and related natural sciences. Explicit prior knowledge is not mandatory, but basic understanding of crystallography is recommended.

Examination topics

Structural building blocks and chemical bonds
Principles of short-range and long-range order
Structure types and structural relationships
The real structure of crystals
Basics of the crystal chemistry of geomaterials

Reading list

It will be announced during the course.
