• Understand the main techniques for the preparation, characterisation and properties of 2D materials, van der Waals heterostructures and 2D material nanocomposites, as well as the information they provide and their limitations.
  • Understand the main technological applications of 2D materials and their derivatives, and be able to place them within the general context of materials science.
  • Understand the technical and conceptual challenges involved in measuring physical properties in electronic devices (such as charge transport, optical properties and magnetic properties).
  • Understand the main techniques for the construction and characterisation of the properties of optoelectronic and spintronic devices.
  • Understand the main applications of materials in quantum technologies and neuromorphic computing.
  • Have the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue future doctoral studies in the field of materials.
  • Students from one area of knowledge (e.g. physics) should be capable of communicating and interacting scientifically with peers from other areas of knowledge (e.g. chemistry) in the analysis and resolution of common problems.
  • Critically analyse, evaluate and synthesise new ideas to solve problems in complex or unfamiliar environments within broader contexts in the different areas of impact and application of materials.
  • Relate the type of advanced material to the best methods of production, manufacturing and processing of the final device.
