Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful learning of the following courses: “Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics”, “Electrics and Magnetism”, “Solid State Physics”, “Nanostructured Ceramic Materials”.
Course content
The course “Physics of nanocomposite materials” improves the knowledge in the field of Condensed State Physics with the focus on the approaches of creation and investigation of compound materials with the essential content of nanostructured objects and the influence of such objects on the material properties. The discipline purpose is to teach students about the peculiarities of physics, physico-chemical, and mechanical characteristics of nanostructured hetero-phase materials based on metals, ceramics and polymers; the basic approaches to their manufacturing and testing; the general fields of their applications. Fundamental laws and concepts of the discipline have a broad application in science, particularly in Condensed State Physics and Chemistry. The course studying is essential for free scientific literature surfing and reaching the Master of Science level.
