Overview

Wave theory, interference of waves, electromagnetic spectrum, review and principles of crystallography, physics of x-ray including generation, properties, and hazards, uses and applications of x-rays in geology, mineralogy and engineering, x-ray diffraction, bragg’s law, diffraction methods, basal spacing determination, diffraction directions, determination of mineral phases by powder diffraction methods, x-ray fluorescence, purpose, theory and use of xrf spectrometers, sample preparation and qualitative chemical analysis of rock and mineral samples using xrf techniques, scanning electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis, lab: analysis of rock samples using xrd techniques, interpretation of their resulted xrd patterns, to determine mineral phases, this well is done through home assignments and term papers, quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis of rock samples using xrf techniques, this also well be done using xrf analyzed rock samples to determine chemical analysis of these samples, contacting research centers to let students know analyzing x-ray facilities.

Intended learning outcomes

● Knowledge of the nature of X-rays and their uses in geology and engineering.

● Determination of the mineral phase of rock samples using the XRD technique, as well as the chemical analysis of these samples using the XRF technique.

In terms of acquiring skills, the student who passed this course should have developed the ability to distinguish between and use different X-ray techniques as needed, and to solve problems related to the internal structure of crystals through calculations of diffraction directions.
