Welcome to Principles of materials science course 2021.
This year (spring 2021) teaching will be in remote mode including the exercises.
Lecturers are: Professor Tomi Laurila and Dr. Vesa Vuorinen
Course Assistant: MSc Ishan Pande
Content: The principles of the properties and structures of materials. The primary and secondary bonds and microstructures. Physical and mechanical properties of materials and their response under different stress states. Entropy law, the free energy of a system and the activity of a component. Phase diagrams of pure elements and binary alloys. The principles of diffusion and Fick's laws.
Learning outcomes: After the course the student (i) understands the hierarchical structure of inorganic materials, (ii) how the macroscopic properties of materials can be derived on the basis of lower level properties. In addition, the student should (iii) understand, apply and utilize the thermodynamic concepts and stability diagrams for solving materials scientific problems. After completion of the course student also understands the origins of the typical properties of different material groups and consequently their different usages in electronic and medical applications.
