Study of high functional materials Exercise 1

Saving energy is the key issue of the 21st century. In order to achieve this goal, it is highly important to employ suitable materials for the design of practical systems. In this course, the students will learn how to implement high functional materials into the practical design with the main focus placed on the superconducting materials.

1. To understand the basic mechanism of high functional materials with an emphasis placed on superconducting materials
2. To understand the engineering pracatical applications of high functional materialss with emphasis placed on superconductor applications
3. To design fabrication process of high fucntional materials with the improvement of their perfomance in mind
