14326 - Solid State Chemistry Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14326
Module Title:Solid State Chemistry
  Festkörperchemie
Department: Faculty 2 - Environment and Natural Sciences
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Schmidt, Peer
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:The students will be able to recognize the connection between bonding theory concepts for solids and the formation of characteristic structural motifs and distinguish the typical crystal structures of inorganic solids. They are also able to demonstrate the structure-property relationships of inorganic solids. With the help of their acquired knowledge of the thermodynamics and kinetics of solid-state reactions, students gain a rational approach to methods and processes of inorganic solid-state and materials synthesis.
 
The students reflect on the lecture material and are able to discuss relevant scientific problems in solid state and materials chemistry. With reference to current issues, they can carry out literature research and open up scientific publications and reports. They will be able to combine different concepts in relation to synthesis approaches, the description of ideal and real structures, and the structure-property relationships of inorganic solids and materials. The students can collaborate in small working groups, develop solutions to given problems and present their results orally and in writing.
 
Students will also be enabled to transfer their knowledge to laboratory work. They are able to familiarize themselves independently with an experimental topic, plan work processes under given conditions, organize themselves in a laboratory group and carry out chemical experiments. Finally, they can save experimental data, document their work in reports and communicate in presentations.
 
The specialist knowledge in theory and laboratory work provides students with in-depth expertise of syntheses, structures and properties of inorganic solids and materials and qualifies them for further involvement in scientific research as well as in application-oriented research and development of new materials.
