This course will introduce the fundamental concepts that underlie modern electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies. These concepts will be used to build an understanding of common experimental techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and impedance spectroscopy and their application to the analysis of real-world electrochemical systems. Modern technologies for electrochemical energy conversion and storage will then be compared and contrasted through a series ...

Introduction into chemical crystallography and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The course provides basic theoretical background for understanding crystal structures and other XRD data reported in the literature and databases. The course also covers theoretical and practical aspects of the XRD analysis, including interaction of X-rays with matter, theoretical description of diffraction, experimental methods, instrumentation, preparation of samples, and the usage of software. Regular ...

This course is concerned with the relations between crystal structure and electronic structure. The major goal is to understand and be able to predict materials properties solely based on the structure. Basic knowledge of simple solid state structures (e.g. NaCl, TiO2, CdI2, NiAs, MoS2 etc.) is highly recommended. Structure/materials families will comprise metals, semiconductors, superconductors, and (Mott and topological) insulators. Topics ...
