Learning outcomes
Apply Hund’s rules to predict the electron configuration and magnetic moment of an atom.
Discuss the relationships between intrinsic magnetic properties and macroscopic behaviours of magnetic materials.
Appreciate the basis for the design of engineering magnetic materials.
Discuss the effect of nanoscale grain refinement on magnetic properties.
Assess functional materials in terms of their synthesis, properties, characterization and application.
Assess various novel classes of functional materials for their application in electronics and energy-related devices such as batteries and energy storage, transistors and integrated circuits, electric motors and inductors
Synthesise laboratory results and literature data to evaluate functional material properties.
Teaching approach
Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 50%
Final assessment: 50%
This unit contains a hurdle requirement that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
