The purpose of this course is to teach students how to describe materials in terms of their crystal and electronic structures
as well as their morphology. During the course, students will learn how the structure of materials is related to their electrical,
magnetic, and optical properties.
Understanding the properties of solid materials requires knowledge of atomic structure, electronic configuration, and crystal
structure.
This course introduces the structural aspects of solid materials, including crystallography and structural defects, and explains how these factors influence material properties.
Students will learn about synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and analytical approaches used in solid-state chemistry.
The electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials will be discussed in relation to their structures.
Applications of solid-state chemistry in modern materials science will also be introduced.
