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
The standard of the course is 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.

Prerequisites
Students entering this class are desired to have learned Inorganic Chemistry I & II, Physical Chemistry III or their equivalents. Furthermore, fundamental understanding of Electromagnetics are also preferable. Use of internet and moodle is necessary in order to display crystal structures using a computer software.

In addition to 30 hours that students spend in the class, students are recommended to prepare for
and review the lectures, spending the standard amount of time as specified by the University and
using the lecture handouts as well as the references specified below.

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.
