| Aim: The aim of the course is to give an understanding and control of the structure of matter at the ultramolecular level and the relating of this structure to properties (mechanical, electrical, etc.). This includes phase transformations based on a thermodynamical description of the liquid and solid state. We study the more complex features of the behaviour of functional materials and materials in extreme states. Focus is on aspects controlled by atomic diffusion and crystal defects. The course is tangential to physical metallurgy, crystallography, and semicondonductor technology, as well as continuum and atomistic mechanics of solids. A goal is also to learn about the design and processing of electronic device materials and construction materials engineering. |
