2.-3. Internal structure of solids, imperfections of crystal structure.
4.-5. One-component system, solidification, nucleation of solid phase (stable vs unstable nucleus), homogeneous vs heterogeneous nucleation, phase transformation in solid state.
6.-8. Two-component system and their binary diagrams; basic kinds of binary systems – system with an unlimited solubility in solid state, system with eutectic, peritectic reaction, system with eutectoid, peritectoid reaction.
9. Complex two-component systems comprising phase transformations in solid state and the presence of intermediate phases.
