2. Instructor Information
3. Course Objectives
This course aims to provide a general introduction to solid state chemistry that covers various topics ranging from traditional subjects like crystal & symmetry, defects, synthesis, characterization, electrical/optical/magnetic properties of materials, to modern subjects that have been issued in more recent years, such as, low-dimensional materials, organic solids, coordinated molecular networks.
4. Prerequisites & require
