FACULTY | Gyung-Min Choi (gmchoi@skku.edu) |
DESCRIPTION | This class lectures about engineering achievements and future development of energy industry, including fossil fuel, nuclear power, solar cell, wind turbine, fuel cell, and thermal energy. The class covers technological, economical, and environmental perspectives of each energy source. |
SUBJECT | Physics for Energy Science (MES2009-41) |
TIME | Friday 9:00~12:00 |
CLASSROOM | N Center 1st floor 86126 |
FACULTY | Dongseok Suh (energy.suh@skku.edu) |
DESCRIPTION | This course introduces the basic knowledge about the physics necessary for the study of energy science. Although the major of the student is not a physics, this course helps the establishment of the right concepts about many physical parameters required for the description of energy science. Especially the phenomena of energy conversion are to be understood based on these physical parameters. 1) Definition of force, power, and energy in terms of classical mechanics 2) Concept of attractive/repulsive force, potential energy, and field in terms of electromagnetism 3) Basic analysis on the oscillation including harmonic potential and Coulomb potential 4) Conversion between kinetic energy and potential energy 5) Electromagnetic induction 6) Basic thermal energy and the conversion relation among thermal, electrical and mechanical work |
SUBJECT | Alternative Energy (MES3002-41) |
TIME | Thursday 18:00~21:00 |
CLASSROOM | N Center 1st floor 86126 |
FACULTY | Heejun Yang (h.yang@skku.edu) |
DESCRIPTION | In order to secure a stable supply of energy in the environment of global warming issues, depletion of fossil fuels, and the fulfillment of Kyoto Protocol about greenhouse gas emission reduction obligations, alternative energy research and development are urgently needed. In this course, students can learn the current research about various alternative energy production and the future of alternative energy. |
SUBJECT | Solar cell science and engineering (MES3008-41) |
TIME | Monday 9:00~12:00 |
CLASSROOM | N Center 1st floor 86108 |
FACULTY | Hyunjung Shin (hshin@skku.edu) |
DESCRIPTION | From issues concerning climate changes caused by excessive consumption of fossil fuels and sustainable energy sources, the use of solar energy as abundant renewable is becoming increasingly important. Thus the studies of solar cells which are one of effective method for harvesting solar energy has emerged as the No. 1 challenges for science and engineering area. This course provides an introduction to solar cells geared toward high-efficiency, low-cost and long-term stability. It covers the basic operating principles, fabrication and characterization of solar cells, an then key materials for solar cells. |
SUBJECT | Characterization of Energy Materials (MES3013-41) |
TIME | Friday 15:00~18:00 |
CLASSROOM | N Center 1st floor 86126 |
FACULTY | Sang-Ho Oh (sanghooh@skku.edu) |
DESCRIPTION | This course aims to deliver the working principles and fundamental physical theory of the instruments used for characterization of energy materials. The lecture mainly focuses on the basic theories of microscopy (optical, SEM and TEM), diffraction (X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction) and surface spectroscopy techniques (XPS, SIMS, Auger electron spectroscopy) which are widely used for materials characterization over diverse length scales (sub-atomic to macroscopic) and dimensions (bulk to surface). Upon completion of this course, the students will be familiar with basic principles of sophisticated scientific instruments and the acquired knowledge can be easily extended to other instruments. |
SUBJECT | Practical Electron Microscopy and the Basics (MES3014-41) |
TIME | Friday 12:00~15:00 |
CLASSROOM | N Center 1st floor 86126 |
FACULTY | Young-Min Kim (youngmk@skku.edu) |
DESCRIPTION | Electron microscopy that allows us to observe atoms directly is one of the core scientific instruments to understand the relationship between structure, chemistry and physical properties of nano- and energy-based materials. In particular, in order to understand the nature of nanomaterials that are subject to quantum mechanical phenomena, direct observation of the atomic arrangement or defect configuration in advanced nano-materials is indispensable. In this course, a series of practical sessions of transmission electron microscopy and the related analytical/interpretation techniques will be given as well as fundamental principles of the electron microscopy. This lecture will focus on learning practical skills to interpret electron diffraction data, image processing, and the related quantification, together with hands-on experience with transmission electron microscopy, which can be used in energy materials science. |
