As result of discipline learning the student has to:
- know of foundation of the interaction of synchrotron, neutron and X-ray radiations with substances;
- know and understand the modern lines of development of the methods for compositional and structural investigation of the materials;
- be able to choose the optimal methods for the study of crystal structure and structural perfection of real crystals;
- use the main computer programs for the study of phase composition and structure of the materials.

- prerequisites: Crystallophysics; Interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the materials for micro-nanosystem engineering
- co-requisites: Materials and elements for laser medical systems and detectors of radiations.

Synchrotron, neutron and X-ray radiations: sources, detectors, optics; theory of interaction of radiation with substance; peculiarities of structure examination using X-ray synchrotron and neutron radiation; crystal structure investigation and distribution of electron density; real structure of the bulk and thin-film materials; in situ low- and high temperature diffraction and structure examination at high pressure; extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) techniques and their using for analysis of real crystal structure.
