The students should have knowledge on the fundamentals of the solid state chemistry and should be able to choose the suitable synthesis procedure and characterization tecniques to investigate the materials.
Course Prerequisites
Chemistry, mathematics and physics basic notions
Teaching Methods
Frontal lessons and laboratory activities. For the lessons, power point presentations will be used, tha will be uploaded in the KIRO platform.
