The aims of the module are:
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the application of diffraction methods to the characterisation of key material types in the solid state. |
|
Students will become familiar with a range of properties displayed by solids, particularly cooperative magnetism, ferroelectricity and multiferroicity, and how these relate to structure and symmetry. |
|
Student will be able to demonstrate a grasp of the importance of intercalation/insertion chemistry in energy storage applications (batteries). |
|
Students will develop the ability to relate fundamental concepts of diffraction, characterisation etc. in solid state chemistry to prctical applications in energy storage and related materials. |
