Syllabus
Introduction to x-rays with reference to production & properties, X-ray Diffraction & it's basics, x-ray crystallography, Qualitative & Quantitative analysis of XRD data, Intensity of XRD pattern & various factors effecting it, XRD phase analysis, Application of XRD technique in crystallography including protein crystallography, Introduction to scattering relevant to Diffraction, Characterization of materials at Nano order scale length ( Nano materials such as Protein, cellulose etc.) Preliminary idea about different X-ray techniques for structure analysis, Limitations of Instrumentation , Introduction to Medical application of X-ray for different structure analysis.
Course Objectives
- To have an essence of x-ray & it's applications in various fields like scientific research, Industry & medical applications.
- Learning different techniques for higher study to encourage the students capable of handling research problems in materialscience in particular.
- Clearing concepts on x-ray structure analysis
- In-depth knowledge on both x-ray crystallography & Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) with their applications
Course Outcomes
To make the student independent for higher study as characterization of materials at nano scale order length is the real research problems across the Global universities/Institutions.
