You will learn about the bonding and structure of several important families of solid state materials. You will gain insight into common synthetic and characterization methods and learn about the applicability of several classes of materials in energy rele ...
In this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their limits of validity. Next we discuss emerging opportunit ...
This intensive course is intended for researchers who envisage using transmission electron microscopy to study materials samples or to help them interpret TEM data in publications. It presents basics of TEM instrumentation, imaging, electron diffraction, s ...
The student has a basic understanding of the physical and physicochemical principles which result from the chainlike structure of synthetic macromolecules. The student can predict major characteristics of a polymer from its chemical structure and molecular ...
Ce cours de deux semestres donne une introduction à la Physique du solide, à la structure cristalline, aux vibrations du réseau, aux propriétés électroniques, de transport thermique et électrique ainsi qu'aux propriétés magnétiques. Il se situe au niveau d ...
