Description
Małgorzata Karolus, PhD, MSc, Assoc. Prof.
This lecture is dedicated to X-ray–based material testing methods, with particular emphasis on diffraction techniques used in the structural analysis of crystalline and polycrystalline materials. The lectures combine essential theoretical background with a practical approach to the interpretation of experimental results. The course introduces the principles of X-ray interaction with matter and outlines the fundamentals of X-ray diffraction as a tool for structural characterization. Basic methods of qualitative and quantitative structural analysis are presented, including phase identification and phase composition analysis. Practical aspects of X-ray measurements, data interpretation, and selected applications in materials engineering are also discussed.
