Before choosing course

Course contents

After completed course the students will have knowledge of:

• Atomic structure in different types of materials, especially metals.
• The properties of gases derived from the Boltzmann statistics.
• Thermodynamic laws as well as basic kinetics for chemical reactions.
• Diffusion in solids and liquids.
• Theoretical analysis and analytical relations for heat capacity, thermal conduction in solids and liquids.
• Magnetic and electrical properties in solids and in semi-conductors as well as the effect of doping elements

Intended learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to give the students knowledge about the most important material properties used in modelling of materials processes, and also to give the students the means to understand the physics behind the properties of materials in order to model a process to optimize these properties

Ethical approach

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
