COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of the course is the acquisition of the necessary theoretical and experimental knowledge of the physics of materials, which will allow the understanding of the nature of possible states of different materials and the properties that they have in these conditions. Also, the course should be exposed to some simpler models that provide the ability to understand the mechanism and kinetics of different processes in the material if there is a change in external conditions. Therefore, the proposed program provides:
(a) The presentation of the structure of various materials at the macro, micro, nano-scale and the scale of atomic sizes.
(b) Introduction to simple methods of synthesis, as well as the introduction of simpler methods for characterization of structure, transport and magnetic properties of materials.
(c) Scientific description of transport and magnetic properties of materials.
(d) Monitoring of new research results and concepts in the field of development and application of new materials.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND SYLLABUS: Topics that will be covered and exposed during lectures are the following:
1. Introductory topics in relation to knowledge of the properties of some materials that occur in our environment.
2. Classification of materials according to structural properties and the type of interatomic forces and energy links.
3. Introduce crystalline, partially crystalline and non-crystalline structure of the material.
4. Real and reciprocal lattice and information on the structure of the crystals contained in the diffraction pattern.
5. Defect of crystal structure and microstructure of the material. Steady and metastable phases.
7. Equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase diagrams and methods of their determination.
8. One-, two-, three- and multi-component material systems.
9. Phase transitions (first and second order) and their correlation with the thermodynamic properties.
10. Determination of the structure and properties of materials: non-destructive and destructive methods.
11. Elastic and plastic properties of materials.
12. Electronic (electric and magnetic) properties.
13. Research and development of new materials.
14. The choice of materials for a particular purpose.
15. Understanding the structure and properties of some better-known types of materials: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites.
16. Superconductivity
