Metallurgical and Electronic Properties

This course unit is designed to provide an introduction to the electronic properties of bulk and/or nanomaterials in the solid state, the magnetic properties of transition metal oxides, and so on. This unit is taught by various guest lecturers from outside UM, and the topics may vary depending on the respective areas of expertise of the instructors.

Students should become familiar not only with the electronic properties and ordering of materials, but also with ionic and mixed electronic-ionic conductors, as well as materials for spintronics. Another aspect here concerns their specific characterization using neutron/synchrotron diffraction, as well as complementary macroscopic characterization methods for magnetism, permeability, etc.
