To relate inorganic solid state structures to the properties (electronic, optical, and magnetic) they exhibit and connect these to material applications in energy and catalysis.
To connect lecture concepts to emerging research challenges and directions in the solid state chemistry field.
The aim of this course is to provide students with a detailed understanding of structure-property relationships in solid state chemistry. It will also cover applications and research in key areas that make use of these properties relating to catalysis and energy, including photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and batteries.
Each lecture covers a specific class of materials and/or set of properties, which is then connected to applications and research in solid state chemistry.
*General topics will remain the same but order and content may change slightly.
I. Introduction & review
II. Bonding in solids
III. Electrical properties
IV. Optical properties
V. Electrochemical properties
VI. Magnetic properties
VII. Solids on the nanoscale
Problems or discussions will be set for some lectures.
Written work (due during the term) on a topic of your choice relating to a current research challenge or direction in solid state chemistry (40%) and a written exam (60%).
