Description

Content

Basics of condensed matter physics; classification of materials; the most important classes of materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, semiconductors, composites; phase transitions and diagrams; mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of technologically important materials; examples of the performance of technology from the point of view of materials physics.

Completion methods

Exam and project work

Assessment details

Succesfully completed project work is a requirement for assessment of the course. The course grade depends on the assessment methods and to pass the course students need to obtain the mimimum number of total points. The teachers determines the assessment methods before the course is arranged.

Learning outcomes

In the course the technologically most important materials are studied and those physical properties that are essential for applications. The student learns the most important materials/classes of materials that are utilized in technology, and to understand how the principles of condensed matter physics dictate the boundary conditions for technology.

Additional information
