Learning unit contents

This course is an introduction to the electrical and magnetic properties of solid materials. The relationships between the macroscopic properties and the atomic structure are described without resorting to complex mathematical developments. The theoretical sections are illustrated by exercises and some practical aspects and applications are reviewed.  Examples and exercises are chosen amongst the different types of materials (metals, ceramics, glasses and polymers).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The objective of the course is to provide the students with the basic knowledge necessary to get access to more advanced textbooks or literature related to material properties and applications.
