Course description and aims

This course focuses on the diffusion in solids. The `diffusion in solids' part deals with the kinetics of charged particles in solid. It starts with the expression of point defects in ionic crystals. Devices, which are related to the motion of charged particles, are introduced.
The studies in this course will give you the important concepts on the research and development of high temperature materials and processes.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the analogies between mass, momentum and energy transports.
2) Describe the point defects in solid.
3) Calculate the defect concentration as a function of activity.
4) Explain the principal of high temperature electrochemical devices.

Keywords

ionic transport, mass transport

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems that were assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Transport equation of charged particles. Express the Fick's first law by using potential.
Class 2 Point defect in ionic crystals. Express the point defects in ionic crystals.
Class 3 Activity dependence of point defect. Draw the Kröger-Vink diagram.
Class 4 Electrical conductivity by charged particles. How to measure the total conductivity.
Class 5 Partial electrical conductivity. How to measure the partial conductivity.
Class 6 Principal of concentration cells. Describe the electromotive force.
Class 7 Application of charged particle. Introduce the high temperature elctrochemical devices.

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.
