Course description and aims

This experiment course aims to learn the properties and evaluation techniques of dielectric and electric properties of bulk ceramics. The students are expected also to learn about the relationships of these properties with structure, chemical composition and physical properties. Processing techniques are also included. In the advanced step, the students can make their own experimental plan on the synthesis and evaluation of ceramics materials concerning with the properties learned in the fundamental step.

Student learning outcomes

Learn about the fundamentals on the experiments concerning with dielectric and electric properties of ceramic materials. Planning of the original experiments is for growing the students' potential of planning, practice, presentation etc for materials researcher.

Keywords

bulk ceramics, ferroelectrics, dielectric constant, electric conductivity

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

All the experimental works will be done by group.
