EU Chemestry of fonctional materials - 4PUFCHMA

Goal(s)

• Part 1 : Solid State Chemistry
  The main objectives are to put into evidence the relations in between the structure of ionic, covalent and iono-covalent solids with their microscopic and macroscopic physical properties (thermodynamical, thermal, electrical, ...).

• Part 2 : TP Labwork
  Be able to do measurements in various areas.

Content(s)

• Part 1 (28h):
  12h CM :
• Introduction: physical properties and structural characterizations of 4 types of crystals
• Factors influencing crystal structure (lattice energy, Born-Haber cycle, valencies, coordination numbers, ...)
• Descriptive crystal chemistry (close packed structures, radius ratio rule, solid solutions)
• Crystal defects and non-stoichiometry (thermodynamic, Schottky, Frenkel, Brower’s diagrams, non-stoichiometry)
• Ionic conductivity and solid electrolytes (SOFC)

16h TD

• Ionic solid (Born-Haber cycle, lattice energy, cristobalite)
• Structure-properties relations (Graphite, diamond, nickeline)
• Crystalline sites
• Crystal defects and conductivity
• Phase transitions

Part 2 (16h TP):
Practical work in Labs courses

• Hall Effect
• Superconductors
• Magnetoresistance
• Vacuum techniques
