Syllabus

Course overview and goals

Lectures are given on the applications of functional inorganic materials fabricated by dry processes such as sputtering and PLD, and wet processes such as hydrothermal and spin spray methods. The basic understanding of the wet process reactions which enable to fabricate functional inorganic materials would also be explained. It would be discussed that the processes and applications of wet-processed two-dimensional functional materials and cement which is a typical structural inorganic material.

Course description and aims

Students will understand the reactions of dry and wet processes for producing inorganic materials, as well as the functionality of the inorganic materials fabricated by these processes.
