Course description and aims

Students will learn about experiments of dielectric material and catalysis.
In the former section, progressing both a preparation of ceramics sample and measurements of electric properties promotes understandings about experimental methods and electrical properties based on solid state physics in ceramics materials. The observed phenomena will be discussed from a viewpoint of crystal structure, fine structure, chemical composition, and density.
In the later section, after an explanation about the industrial processes using solid catalysts, students will experience an experiment about the synthesis and catalysis of solid materials. Learning about crystal polymorph and handling fine powder, and students understand about catalytic reaction and reaction kinetics.

Student learning outcomes

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To promote effective learnings, students are encouraged to take approximately 50 minutes for preparing the next class and another 50 minutes for reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

The textbook will be provided via T2SCHOLA.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Fundamental lecture course 1: Ceramics experiments; Uchida-rokaku-ho
