Course contents :
|
| This course contains 3 parts:
1. Calculation of chemical analyses of minerals.
2. X-ray crystallography.
3. Crystal chemistry of rock-forming minerals. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The aim of this course is to introduce the students t the two main tools of the Mineralogist: chemical analyses and X-ray powder diffraction. The crystal chemistry of the main mineral groups is also presented in detail. |
