Course description
Chemical or physical properties of a material at the interface are usually different from those at bulk. The understanding of the interfacial property is important for treating nanotechnology. In this course, students study the interfacial phenomena based on mainly thermodynamics.
Purpose of class
Deep understanding surface phenomena based on thermodynamics.
Goals and objectives
  1. You can elucidate specificity of surface phenomena.
  2. You can explain the mechanism of phenomena concerning surface free energy.
  3. You can discuss quantitatively about nanoparticle phenomena.
Language
Japanese(English accepted)
