Teaching

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Introduction to the physical principles underlying the dielectric and magnetic properties of solids. Processing-microstructure-property relationships of dielectric materials, including piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric oxides, and of magnetic materials, including hard- and soft ferromagnets, ferrites and magneto-optic and -resistive materials, and includes descriptions of magnetic disc data storage principles and methods. The course also covers the properties of grain boundary devices (including varistors) as well as ion-conducting and mixed conducting materials for applications in various devices such as chemical sensors, fuel cells, and electric batteries.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course, you will develop an understanding of the basic principles underlying the dielectric and magnetic properties of solids. Throughout the course, we will discuss these principles in the context of materials. These concepts will be applied to applications including storage and electronic applications.
