Middle-level Diploma Policy (mDP)
Program / Major mDP Goals
(改組前)先進国際課程 A-1 Students shall obtain basic and advanced knowledge and skills in mathematics, natural and computer sciences as well as presentation skills to communicate on their knowledge with scholars from various fields.
Purpose of class
To learn the classification of various magnetic materials and the physical origins, and to understand the concept of magnetic domains. To learn the characteristic or physical parameter describing magnetic and superconducting state. The students will be provided with a profound knowledge of the various types of magnetism, the basic concepts of magnetic domain, and the various characteristic parameter to describe a magnetic material.
Course description
This lecture introduces the fundamental understanding of magnetism, presenting the different appearances of magnetism (diamagnetism, paramagnetism, superparamagnetism, ferro-, antiferro-, ferrimagnetism) and the physical origins, the formation of magnetic domains. Furthermore, it introduces the origin of superconductivity and its response to the magnetic field. The experimental techniques to observe magnetism and superconductivity will be explained. Therefore, it will include the brief history of superconductivity from the milestone of the low-temperature technique in the discovery of superconductivity to the recent topic of superconductivity.
This course was originally held as gPBL Project ”Joint Lecture in Superconductivity and Magnetism for Japanese, International, and Indonesian Young Prospective Researchers”. The SIT students (including international exchange students) will be taught by additional International lecturers. And, several students from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Indonesia will officially join into this course. Furthermore, the course evolved to the fully COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) Program.
Goals and objectives
  1. The students can explain the concept of magnetic moments and magnetic susceptibility.
  2. The students can explain phase transition from paramagnetism to magnetic ordering (ferro-, ferri-, or antiferromagnetic) state.
  3. The students can explain the electronic and magnetic concepts of superconductivity.
  4. The students can explain the phase transition from metal (paramagnetism) to superconducting state (diamagnetism).
  5. The students can explain and distinguish the details of several magnetic curve from magnetization measurements.
