Prerequisites for registration: successful completion of compulsory module 21 (Physical Chemistry D)

Learning Outcome: The students understand the basics of kinetic and electrochemical processes in theory and
experiment. In the laboratory course, the students acquire interdisciplinary key qualifications,
such as working in teams and oral and written communication skills.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: The students are able to
ad a.: explain the structure, lattice vibrations, electronic properties and transport phenomena of metals, insulators and semiconductors, taking into account magnetism and correlation effects, and apply this knowledge to technological issues in solid state materials technology.
ad b.: perform experimental methods to determine material properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, Hall conductivity, mobility, charge carrier concentration, excitation energy and band gap, and evaluate their significance for charge, heat and material transport in solids.
ad c.: analyse the structure and properties of amorphous materials such as glasses, polymers and metallic glasses, describe their production, phase transitions and differentiation from crystalline phases, and systematically present historical and modern applications, including technical glasses, glass processing and functional special glasses.
ad d.: analyse the structure of polymeric materials and their physical and chemical properties, including polymer reactivity, technical application properties and ecological aspects such as LCA, recycling and disposal, and systematically evaluate technical polymers as materials, composite and lightweight materials, and functional polymers in the context of current applications.
ad e.: apply analytical methods such as thermal analysis, sorption methods, porosity and crystallinity determination, IR, NMR and mass spectrometry, end group determination, molecular weight distributions and microscopy to polymeric materials and evaluate their suitability for structural and functional characterisation in a well-founded manner.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students understand the interconnections between solid state material structure, possible excitations of these structures and the macroscopic material properties. The learn fundamental technologies for making semi-conductor building elements and acquire knowledge of magnetic and other materials with electron correlation. Students then apply their theoretic knowledge in practice and practice the experimental determination of the listed material properties. Students are familiar with the chemical and structural properties of amorphous and polymer materials, understand the theoretic concepts for describing non-crystalline solids and know the fundamentals of use in technical engineering.
