Knowledge
Students who complete the course successfully will be able to demonstrate an extensive knowledge of a variety of inorganic materials in use in the world today. He will be aware of the history, properties, production methods and applications either of some materials of large industrial production or of other with very small fields of use or not yet developed. He will acquire a certain knowledge of the analytical methods typical of the solid state such as the X-ray and electron diffraction , X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, optical, electronic and atomic force microscopy.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- The student will be required to demonstrate his/her ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology. He can start the exposition dealing with a subject of his choice (among those viewed in the course). He will then asked to answer a few questions regarding this topic and other presented in the course.
Methods:
Further information:
The student will be assessed on the basis of the knowledge acquired in the course and the ability to connect the different topics together. It will be assessed the propriety of language and the ability to justify the qualities and the preparation method of the materials described according to their chemical nature. He will be evaluated for his ability to suggest any analysis techniques (especially in relation to those seen in the course) to characterize the described materials.

Syllabus
The course deals first the fundamentals of some analytical techniques typical of solid-state (diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and microscopy) shows the type of information that it can give and how to prepare the samples. It then describes the essential properties of 4 elements of the periodic table (B, Al, C and Si) and some of their simple compounds (oxides, azides, carbides) important in the field of materials. Are finally treated materials of large industrial production such as glass, steel, cement and ceramic materials. Technical experts of the industry are sometimes invited to give some specific lessons of the course.
Bibliography
for what concerns the elements properties are recommended the related chapters of N. N. Greenwood, A. Earnshaw, Chemistry of the elements, 2nd ed., Elsevier, 1997.
