Synopsis:

The Department of Mechanics and Material Science K312 offers the course in the 1st semester of BSP. In the course are discussed relations between structure and properties of materials used in electro engineering, electronic and informatics fields. Progressive inorganic and organic semiconductors, insulators, magnetic materials, conductors, superconductors, optoelectronic materials, intelligent and structural materials are described. Basic guidelines for HOS are included.
