- 1/ Crystal chemistry of elements, the closed packing in structures of metals (Cu,Ag,Au,Fe), details of structures (S, graphite, diamond). Relations between structures and properties of elements. Description of elements - minerals, their minerogenesis and occurrences. 2/ Crystal chemistry of sulphides (tetrahedral structure type: sphalerite, wurtzite, chalcopyrite, bornite; octahedral structure type: galena, pyrrhotite, nickeline; combinated octahedral and tetrahedral structure type: pentlandite; other structure types: molybdenite, millerite, cinnabar, covellite, chalcocite, argentite; compex structure type: pyrite, marcasite, arsenopyrite, löllingite, cobaltite, skutterudite, stibnite, boulangerite, jamesonite, tetrahedrite, proustite, pyrargyrite, realgar, orpiment). Minerogenesis of sulphides and occurrences. Sulphide thermomethers and barometers. 3/ Halides - their structures, crystal chemistry, minerogenesis, occurrences. 4/ Oxides. Tetrahedral structure type: SiO2 group, zincite, periklas; octahedral structures: hematite, corundum, ilmenite, rutile, anatas, brookit, cassiterite, pyrolusite, columbite; combinated tetrahedral and octahedral structures: spinelides (magnetite, spinel, chromite, gahnite, franklinite), chrysoberyl; cubic structure: uraninite; other structure types: cuprite. Minerogenesis and occurrences. Oxide thermomethers and barometers. 5/ Pyroxene group: crystal chemistry, classification and natural occurences of minerals in magmatic and metamorphic rocks Pt -stability fields, phase relations (diopside, hedenbergite, jadeite, enstatite, augite, omfacite). 6/ Amphibole group: crystal chemistry, classification and natural occurences of minerals in magmatic and metamorphic rocks Pt -stability fields, phase relations (tremolite, actinolite, antophylite, hornblend, alkali amphiboles ). 7/ Mica group: crystal chemistry, classification and natural occurences of minerals in magmatic and metamorphic rocks Pt -stability fields, phase relations (muskovit, biotit, lepidolite). 8/ Minerals Al2SiO5 (kyanite, sillimanite, andalusite) and Al-rich minerals (corundum, diaspore, kaolinite, pyrophylite), crystal chemistry, classification and natural occurences of minerals in magmatic and metamorphic rocks Pt - stability fields, phase relations. 9/ Zeolite group: crystal chemistry, classification and natural occurences of minerals in magmatic, metamorphic and hydrothermal rocks, Pt - stability fields, phase relations, using in industry (natrolite, heulandite, stilbite, laumontite, chabazite, analcim). 10/ Cyklosilicates (beryl, cordierite, sekaninaite) crystal chemistry, classification and natural occurences of minerals in magmatic and metamorphic rocks Pt - stability fields, phase relations.
