Course description |
Physical properties of solid-state materials are governed by many factors such as bulk compositions, crystal structure and chemicals, surface structures, particle sizes, morphologies, and defects. This course deals with crystal structures of inorganic solids, which are important to understand physical properties of inorganic solids, and explain various physical and chemical properties of inorganic solids based on concrete examples of representative materials. |
Expected Learning |
Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to understand crystal structures of representative inorganic solids and fundamental physical and chemical properties of inorganic solids mainly based on their crystal and defect structures . |

Message from instructor(s) |
Other courses related to organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry mainly deal with molecular compounds, and their basic reactivities and physical properties may be predicted according to their molecular structures. Meanwhile, it is known that inorganic solids, even very fundamental materials such as silica and alumina, often have various different structures, resulting in considerably different physical properties. Even the same crystal structures may show different physical properties resulting from their defect structure and nanostructure. This course starts from understanding crystal structures of inorganic solids and afterward presents factors governing various physical and chemical properties of inorganic solids. |
