SOLID STATE AND MATERIALS CHEMISTRY.

Catalog description

Chemical synthesis, structure characterization, and properties of solid-state materials. Principles of solid-state synthesis, classical equilibrium approaches, diffusion, and chemical transport, non-equilibrium, and deposition methods; high temperature and high-pressure synthesis; basic characterization techniques using X-rays, electrons, and neutrons; basic structure types and symmetry; optical, electrical, and magnetic properties; examples will relate to materials used for energy harvesting, sensors, catalysis, and other applications. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in CHEM 3317 .
