通过该课程的学习，学生能够了解材料的基础化学及物理结构，理解材料结构与材料特性之间的关联，掌握纳米材料研究实践中所需要的一些基本方法及手段，使学生建立材料结构-特性相关性的基础认知，获得应用专业基础知识及分析、解决问题的能力。课程的主要内容包括：固体的晶体结构与成键，固体材料的合成，材料研究中的热分析技术和晶体衍射，晶体中的缺陷及非化学计量，固体溶液以及固态体系的相图等。
This course has several objectives, and its main goal is to introduce the mandatory knowledge for a good understanding of Chemistry of the Solid State, with a focus on chemistry of (Nano) materials, and more specifically a first approach of material design for nanomaterials. The main contents of this course include: crystal structures and bonding in solids; introduction to diffraction, solid state synthesis, and thermal analysis techniques employed in the study of materials; defects, non-stoichiometry, and solid solutions; phase diagrams for solid systems. As a result, along this course, a continuous emphasis will be provided on the identification of descriptors at any steps of the scientific process, descriptors being defined as descriptive parameters that inform quantitatively on a structure or mechanism.
