Surfaces and Interfaces - MATE96010
Aims
This course is designed to provide the students with the basic knowledge of the properties of surfaces and interfaces, focusing on their structure, energy, electronic and chemical properties. Consequences in a range of applications including thin film growth, the shape of nanostructures, the underlying physics of electronic and magnetic devices, will be discussed. The course will provide a thorough overview of the typical analytical techniques used to characterise surfaces and buried interfaces.

Materials Chemistry and Biology - MSE 102
Aims
This course is designed to give students the firm foundation in the fundamentals of Materials Chemistry and Biology required in subsequent years of study and to serve as a valuable self-standing unit. The missions of Materials Chemistry and Biology are to deliver a materials science view of fundamental chemistry concepts, as well as introduce a range of soft matter and polymeric materials. The course content takes into account the broad spectrum of pre-university syllabi.
Role
Course Leader
Nanomaterials 1 - MATE97006
Aims
This course is designed to provide the student with a fundamental understanding of nanoscience and how this can be applied in technological devices. A mechanistic description of the structure / property relationships will be covered for each class of material with a focus on the specific advantages that nanoscale materials can provide. The student will gain an understanding of the processing routes to produce controlled nanostructures.
