Nanomaterials - thermodynamics and kinetics, 7.5 credits

given by the Department of Physics.

Please note: This page contains only general information about the course. It does not contain any course material. If you are a student on the course you have to log in to the Canvas portal in the site navigation to find the courses of your programme.

Contents

In this course you will gain knowledge in the area of thermodynamic phenomena and kinetic processes in material science with applications towards nanomaterials. You will acquaint yourself with equilibrium concepts of nanomaterials as well as describing reaction processes in systems with several components. You will be able to interpret phase diagrams and solve chemical reaction problems as well as diffusion problems. Furthermore, you will be capable of explaining fundamental mass and heat transport equations and reflect on how thermodynamics and kinetics can be applied to nanomaterials.
