Videregående faststoffkjemi

Emnet undervises annet hvert år, neste gang høsten 2027. Emnet gir en bred gjennomgang av faststoffkjemien med hovedvekt på uorganiske materialer. Emner som behandles er bl.a.:Sammenheng mellom struktur og bindingsforhold, faseovergang, defekter og ustøkiometri, Sammenheng mellom struktur og elektroniske, magnetiske og optiske egenskaper.

After completion of the course the student should be able to: - Give a qualitative description of bonding in solid materials, crystal classes and symmetries as a basis for space groups and the most important crystal structures for AB, AB2, AB3 and other more complex compounds - Give a qualitative description of old and new concepts to describe the structure of inorganic solids. - Define solid-solid phase transition based on thermodynamic, kinetic and structural characteristics of a phase transition and knowledge of some of the most important phase transition in inorganic functional materials - Give a qualitative and quantitative representation of 0, 1 and 2 dimensional defects in solids and knowledge of defects related to non-stoichiometry in some important classes of inorganic materials. - Give a qualitative representation of the relationship between structure/bonding and electronic, electrical, magnetic, ferroic and optical properties of solids with emphasis on some of the most important classes of inorganic materials. -Give a qualitative description of emerging directions in materials science.

Undervisningen baseres på kollokvier samt en prosjektoppgave. Forventet tidsbruk: Forelesninger: 80 timer, prosjektoppgave: 20 timer, selvstudium: 100 timer. Dersom det er færre enn tre kandidater vil emnet undervises gjennom kollokviearbeid.
