Goals and objectives
Inorganic solid materials are used in various fields such as energy, environment, electronics, information, medical care. For creating inorganic solid materials, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of their physical properties. The course provides the knowledge about the physical properties (thermal conduction, electric conduction, optical property, and magnetic property, etc.) of inorganic solids from the viewpoint of crystal structure and behavior of atoms and electrons.
Prerequisites
Having an interest in physical properties of inorganic solids

Message for students
Students can attend from any department.
Although the knowledge of difficult mathematics and physics can be needed in understanding mechanism of physical properties of inorganic solids, the main aim of this course is to understand it in a qualitative manner from the viewpoint of materials chemists.
Please contact before the lecture, if you absent from the class due to conference and so on.
