Course description and aims
Prof. Yashima reviews the fluorite-type and perovskite-type structures at an atomic scale, phase diagrams and thermodynamics of inorganic materials. You can learn the electrical conductivity and ionic conductivity of ceramic materials, which are important for clean energy and environments. Through the lecture of Prof. Yashima, the students are able to understand the crystal structure, thermodynamics and properties of ceramic materials and to design the ceramic materials.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the definition, crystal structure, chemical bonding, phase diagram and thermodynamics of ceramic materials.
2) Explain the properties of ceramic materials and discuss the structure-property correlation.
3) Design the ceramic materials.
Keywords
ceramics, crystal structure, chemical bonding, phase diagram, thermodynamics, electrical properties, ionic conduction, ceramic materials for energy and environments, mechanical properties, materials for battery, photocatalysts, dielectric materials
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Lecture is performed with slides. The students need to download the pdf files of the slides and text, to print out them, and to learn them before each lecture. Group-discussion is done and the quiz is given.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | What are the inorganic (ceramic) materials? | Explain what are the inorganic materials. |
| Class 2 | Crystal structure, ionic radius and chemical bonding | Understand the crystal structure, ionic radius and chemical bonding |
| Class 3 | Phase diagram and thermodynamics | Understand the phase diagram and thermodynamics |
| Class 4 | Electrical properties | Understand the variety of electrical conduction, band structure, metals and semiconductors. |
| Class 5 | ionic conduction | Understand the fuel cells and ionic conductors |
| Class 6 | Topics of ceramics 1 | Understand the lithium-ion batteries, dielectric materials, photocatalysts and mechanical properties |
| Class 7 | Topics of ceramics 2 and Summary | Understand the lithium-ion batteries, dielectric materials, photocatalysts and mechanical properties |
Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
(Yashima) Text will be given. "Solid State Chemistry and its Applications", 2nd Ed. by A. R. West, John Wiley & Sons (2014) is recommended.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Not required, but you can refer books as T. Kaino and R. Kanno, "Materials Science: Fundamentals and Application", Tokyo Kagaku Dojin Co. Ltd., (2008); Peter Atkins, et al. "Shriver and Atkins' Inorganic Chemistry," Fifth Edition, Oxford University Press, (2009); R. J. D. Tilly, Understanding Solids, 2nd Ed., John Wiley & Sons, (2013); T. Sakuma, Ceramic Materials, Kaibundo Co. Ltd., (1990).
Assessment criteria and methods
Students are assessed on their understanding of the definition, crystal structure, ionic radius, chemical bonding, phase diagram, thermodynamics and properties of ceramic materials. Course scores are mainly based on the examination test. Additionally the reports and the exercise and quiz in the lectures will be considered in the course scores. Depending on the Corona virus, we might change how to determine the course scores .
