    Course description

    The course provides the students with insights into the various important functional inorganic material families employed in new sustainable energy technologies, conventional electronics and optics, as well as spintronics and other emerging application fields. The course covers among others the superconducting, magnetic, ferroelectric, thermoelectric, Li-ion and oxide-ion conductive and photoactive materials, and also the physical phenomena behind the targeted material functions. The focus is on new materials.

    Teachers

    Prof. Maarit Karppinen (maarit.karppinen@aalto.fi) and Prof. Antti Karttunen (antti.karttunen@aalto.fi)

    Course arrangements in Fall 2022

    Please return the final version of your learning diary here (Word or PDF format).

    1. In the final learning diary, please mark clearly, which lectures you attended and which you did not attend. We need this information for the evaluation of the diaries.

    2. Please submit a complete version that includes your learning diaries for all six weeks.

    3. Please remember to include a short summary chapter, where you reflect on the whole course:

    • Did your interest in the course subjects change during the course?
    • Did your learning process change during the course?
    • What grade would you give for yourself (on scale 1−5)?
