Core Courses
The Master's program in Materials Physics is generally designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge of materials and their properties, their manufacturing, and their use in various industrial applications. Here is an overview of the core courses offered:
1. Materials Physics
- Defects in materials (point, linear, surface, volume);
- Mechanics of materials (elasticity, plasticity, deformation);
- Magnetic and optical properties of materials;
- Grain growth and recrystallization.
2. Materials Characterization
- Characterization techniques (electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, etc.);
- Mechanical properties and behavior under stress.
3. Thermodynamics of Materials
- Phase diagrams and phase equilibrium;
- Diffusion in materials.
4. Biomaterials
- Metallic Materials for Medical Applications;
- Bioceramics and Composites;
- Innovations and Perspectives in Biomaterials.
5. Modeling and simulation of materials properties
