RESTAURO BENI CULTURALI 9009 (LM-11) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR GEO/06 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: MINERALOGY AND PETROLOGY LABORATORY TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Module II aims to provide the fundamental knowledge for the use of the most important mineralogical survey techniques useful in the diagnostics of cultural heritage, with particular attention to the technique of XR Diffraction. The student will learn the theoretical foundations of diffraction, linking them to the properties of minerals or mineral / rock aggregates he intends to analyze. Subsequently he will apply XR diffraction to materials with different characteristics (crystalline substances, ceramics of various types) learning to distinguish the their response and to evaluate any limitations in the application of the technique itself. The student will also learn to process raw data to discriminate the minerals included therein. Finally, the student will be aware of the most suitable strategies of multi-analytical approach in relation to the problems of archaeometric characterization and diagnosis of degradation. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The attendance and participation in the planned training activities (lectures and laboratory activities) will allow the student to acquire the practical knowledge of X-ray powders diffraction as well as the interpretation of spectra. TEACHING METHODS The teaching consists of some lectures and a part of a theoretical-practical laboratory. Lectures in the classroom are delivered through multimedia presentations. The laboratory exercises are aimed at the practical application of the theoretical knowledge acquired during the lectures. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course program includes the presentation and discussion of the following topics: 1) Recognition of some chemical and physical properties of minerals on macroscopic samples such as color, gloss, hardness and microhardness. 3) X-ray production. X-ray diffraction. Sample preparation methods. Reading and interpretation of diffractograms. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY C.
