Characterization and Processing of Functional Materials

Function Hub / Advanced Materials · 4 Credits

This course covers the fundamental concepts that govern the properties of some functional materials which are important to current technologies. It will also cover the experimental tools to characterize these properties. Focus will be on peculiar property of these functional materials, for example, electrical properties of perovskites in terms of piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity and ferroelectricity. Materials formulation and fabrications will be described and limitations of the materials and processing of these functional materials will be highlighted from the perspective of new materials requirement and industry demands.
