Course detail
Physical Properties of Materials
FSI-TFVAcad. year: 2018/2019
The course is a follow-up to the course Solid State Physics; and deepens students; knowledge in the field of elastic, thermal, electric, optical and magnetic properties of solid matter. It describes simple physical models enabling calculations of some basic parameters and characteristics of solid matter in order to understand properties of classical and advanced materials.
