Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Title: Bulk Properties of Solids: Experiment and Models
Objectives: the course gives an overview on important physico-chemical behaviour and on the omportant techniques of investigation of solids.
Contents:
Symmetry in solids: introduction to crystallographic point groups and space groups (with tutored example calculations).
Introduction to black and white space groups (for magnetic structures)
