Learning outcomes
After a successfully completed course the student should be able to:
- make qualitative analyses of the electric, dielectric and magnetic properties of materials,
- understand the relationship between specific material properties and their function in applications using electric, dielectric and/or magnetic materials,
- describe specific applications using functional metallic, dielectric and/or magnetic materials.
Content
The course describes functional materials such as dielectric, ferroelectric, multiferroic and magnetoelectric materials. Theoretical and experimental methods used to analyse the material properties and their functionalities are discussed, and illustrated by current research results. Specific functionalities are studied in more detail during a project work.
Instruction
Lectures, guest lectures, group seminars and project supervision.
Assessment
Oral examination (2 credits), written and oral presentation of project work (3 credits).
