Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Special synthetic methods and characterisation techniques for superconductivity and related functional materials are reviewed. This course provides an overview of superconducting phenomena, the basic theory of superconductivity, and the control of physical properties through chemical/physical modifications used in materials exploration. Recent materials science research is introduced as well. This course aims to deepen understanding of materials science and knowledge of current prospects for industrial applications.
