Entry requirements

Solid State Chemistry

Learning outcomes

After a pass mark on course, the student should be able to

  • describe and explain defects with different dimensionality in material and be able to carry out equilibrium calculations for point defects according to Kröger-Vink's method.
  • describe and state the conditions for Fick's diffusion laws and apply them to solve diffusion problems, describe some diffusion mechanisms
  • draw and interpret binary and ternary phase diagrams and be able to describe the connection between the microstructure and appearance of the phase diagram.
  • explain central concepts in connection with phase transformation in crystalline and amorphous systems.
  • describe the connections between structure, bonding and property for some technologically important amorphous and crystalline material systems (according to separate list).
  • describe some manufacturing processes for metallic and ceramic materials

Content

Defect theory, diffusion, phase transformations, ternary phase diagrams, connections between phase diagrams and microstructure. Structure and properties of technologically important crystalline and amorphous materials. Synthesis methods. Laboratory work: Metallography, Solid-phase diffusion. Appeared and characterisation of BaTiO3 Communication training is integrated in the materials science courses. In this course the student will especially train to: - describe the technological use of a metallic alloying system. - search articles in scientific journals and information on www. - present the project both orally and in writing. - be opponent on another presentation.

Instruction

Lectures, lessons and laboratory work.

Assessment

Written examination at the end of the course. For approval, passed laboratory course is also required. The laboratory course and communication training is marked to 2 credit points.
