Functional Materials
About
About the course
Course content
Functional materials are materials that have one or more properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimuli (temperature, electric/magnetic field, etc.) and are therefore applied in a broad range of technological devices as for example in memories, displays and telecommunication.
Subjects: Relation between properties, structure and crystal symmetry Size & interface effects on properties - Electronic bands structures - Charge transport Semiconductor devices Optical active materials: theory, examples of materials & applications Dielectrics, piezo- & ferroelectrics: theory, examples of materials & applications Magnetism: theory, examples of materials and applications.
Learning outcome
The student shall gain insight into a wide variety of existing and future important types of functional materials.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and student reports, project work, presentations. A re-sit examination could be changed to an oral instead of a written exam.
Recommended previous knowledge
