Course description

In order to explain the properties of the solid materials, it is necessary to understand its structure and electronic configuration of single atoms as well as atoms in the crystal structure. In this course, those topics will be covered. The crystal structure of solid materials will be described including crystallographic aspects. Chemistry of defects will be explained. The students will learn the x-ray diffraction technique and analysis of the data using the Rietveld method. The properties of the materials such as the ability to form solid-state solution, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties will be linked to their structure. The student will learn about the phenomenon of superconductivity and other applications of solid-state chemistry.

Purpose of class

The purpose of this course is to teach students how to describe materials in terms of their electronic and crystal structure as well as their morphology. During the course, the student will learn how to link the structure of the materials with their electrical, magnetic and optical properties.
