The aim of this course is to enable students to investigate the structural, optical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties of advanced functional materials through modern characterization techniques and current technological applications. The course focuses on the relationships between the micro-/nano-scale structures of materials and their macroscopic properties, with the goal of developing students’ abilities to evaluate scientific literature, interpret experimental data, and propose solutions to research-oriented problems.
This course covers the structural characterization of advanced materials, phase formation, microstructural analysis, the effects of defects on material properties, and optical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal characterization techniques. In addition, contemporary research topics such as nanomaterials, photonic materials, magneto-optical materials, energy materials, biomaterials, and smart materials are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the interpretation of data obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques.
| 1. | Explain and interpret the relationships between the micro-/nano-structure of materials and their physical properties. |
| 2. | Analyze the effects of phase formation, phase transformations, and crystal defects on material behavior. |
| 3. | Evaluate and interpret experimental data obtained from structural, optical, and morphological characterization techniques. |
| 4. | Analyze the electrical, dielectric, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties of materials using experimental results and relevant physical models. |
| 5. | Critically evaluate current scientific literature on nanomaterials, photonic materials, energy materials, and other advanced functional materials, and apply the acquired knowledge to research problems in materials physics. |
