| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Based primarily on the solid-state chemistry, this course serves the outline of notation (descriptive method) and analytical techniques for solid substances, which become the basis of materials science and materials engineering. | |||
| Course Goals | Basic knowledges of physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc. are requires to learn materials science and materials engineering. In this course students learn basic technical terms and develop fundamental concepts of solid-state materials chemistry, to take subsequent advanced courses on materials science and materials engineering. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Substances and materials, 1 time, Three states of matter; Amorphous and glasses; Liquid crystal; Materials structures and properties in our surrounding living environment. Fundamentals of crystal structures, 3 times, Close packing and holes; Crystal structure of metals; Point symmetry and space symmetry; Lattice and unit structure; Crystal system and Bravais lattice; Depiction of lattice plane and lattice direction; Fractional coordinates. Fundamentals of chemical bond theory, 2 times, Electronic configuration and shielding; Size of atoms and ions; Covalency and ionicity; Definition of electronegativity. Inorganic solid-state materials, 3 times, Structure of important ionic crystals; Stoichiometry and lattice defects; Ionic conduction and solid electrolytes; Crystal field and optical properties of d-block elements. Fundamentals of diffraction crystallography, 5 times, Generation and properties of X-ray; Fundamentals of X-ray scattering and diffraction (Bragg condition, structure factor, extinction rule); Powder X-ray diffractometry; Laue method Self-assessment of achievement, 1 time, Review of the course contents |
|||
| Evaluation Methods and Policy | (1) Class participation, (2) take-home assignments (approx. 50% in total), and (3) exams (approx. 50%). Students will sign a roll sheet every class. Ten written take-home assignments are due throughout the semester. Supplementary examination to bail out low-performing students will not be given for any reason. | |||
| Course Requirements | Knowledge of physics and chemistry for the entrance examination of Kyoto University. | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | The take-home assignments and their suggested answers should effectively be used for preparation and review. | |||
| Textbooks | Textbooks/References | No textbook is required for this course. A course booklet will be given out at the first lecture. | ||
