| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | Key-concepts of modern physical chemistry are introduced in the frame of various topics oriented towards the applications of physical chemistry in material sciences:
- Electronic and vibrational structure of molecules
- Macromolecular behaviour: from the molecular structure to phase diagrams
- Statistical physics of polymer chains
- Polymer visco-elastic behaviour
- Electronic properties of conjugated polymers
- Intermolecular forces and application to the colloid world |
|
| Course objective : | At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to apply the basic ideas of physical chemistry to account for the structural and thermodynamical behaviour of matter, in particular, modern materials. Making the link between molecular properties and the macroscopic observations will be an important aspect in their way of thinking. |
|
| Prerequisites : | The course is based on the essential mathematical, physical and chemical concepts taught during the bachelor studies in physics. |
|
| Workshops : | There is no practical laboratory work associated with this course. Several experimental demonstrations will be presented during the theoretical lectures. |
|
| Organization : | 30 hours theoretical lectures (each lecture lasts 90 minutes) |
|
| Written notes : | Partial lecture notes and copies of slides are available. |
|
| Assessment : | The theoretical competences are assessed during an oral examination. |
