| Aim: The aim of the course is to give a basic understanding of the relationship between the chemistry and physical properties of inorganic solids. The important role played by chemists in modern materials science is emphasised. After passing the course the student is expected having gained the following competences:
|
||||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) norganic chemistry, Physical chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
||||
| Organisation: The course consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory work (including demonstrations). The laboratory exercises are carried out in the form of projects to be presented at a seminar in the end of the course. |
||||
| Course contents: Fundamentals of crystallography: symmetry, space group, lattice, unit cell, Miller indexing, diffraction. Common inorganic crystal structure. X-ray and neutron diffraction. Preparative methods such as solid state synthesis, sol-gel, chemical vapour deposition, hydrothermal synthesis. Chemical bonding and electric properties in solid materials. Defect and non-stoichiometry. Diffusion and ion conduction. Modern ceramics. Low-dimensional materials, including conducting polymers. Dielectric, optical, magnetic, and superconducting materials. In the laboratory course a number of inorganic materials are prepared and characterised with respect to their structure, chemical composition and physical properties. X-ray powder diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy are demonstrated. |
