Solid State Chemistry
Volledige vakbeschrijving
The six weeks of the course will aim to cover a total of six modules on key themes, among batteries, magnets, superconductors, semiconductors and solar cells, multiferroics, thermoelectrics, porous systems (MOFs/zeolites), fuel cells and oxygen ion conductors. The students’ preferences and specific interests will be taken into account for one or two modules. Each lecture will aim to cover both basic theory and applications. The tutorials sessions will complement this approach and help the students familiarise with the concepts. The course it its entirety will aim to provide the students with the tools needed to understand the strengths, state-of-the-art and upcoming challenges of the very varied field that solid state chemistry represents.Doelstellingen van dit vak
To expand on the student’s knowledge of Chemistry and understand how properties are modified in a solid state framework • To introduce the student to the fundamental science behind chemistry in solid state and the processes that steer it • To familiarise the students with materials of high technological relevancy and show the clear relationship between theory and its applications • To understand the state-of-the-art and have some indication of the challenges of the Oield • To give a stable foundation to pursue future master-level studies in the fieldAanbevolen literatuur
