Description
This teaching unit is devoted to give an introduction to the electronic properties in the solid state of bulk and/or nano-materials, magnetic properties in transition metal oxides, etc.... This unit is given by different, alternating external teachers to UM and the topics may vary with respect to the respective area of expertise of the teaching stuff.
Students should get familiarized not only with the electronic properties and ordering of materials, but also with respect to ionic and mixed electronic ionic conductors, materials for spintronics. Another aspect concerns here their specific characterizations using neutron/synchrotron diffraction as well as complementary macroscopic characterization methods for magnetism, permeability, etc
