11 Basic lecture 3h | Surface Engineering in Energy Conversion

Mesude Zeliha Arkan, PhD, Emre Arkan, PhD
The energetic performance of materials is strongly influenced by their surface properties and chemical composition. Key surface characteristics—roughness, functionalization, and charge distribution—govern interfacial interactions, charge-transfer efficiency, and energy dissipation, particularly in materials used for energy harvesting, storage, and conversion. Increased surface roughness can enlarge the contact area in triboelectric systems, enhancing charge generation, while specific functional groups modify the work function and electron affinity. At the compositional level, dopants, nanofillers, and tailored molecular structures can adjust the dielectric constant, electrical conductivity, and polarization behavior, all of which are critical for optimizing energy performance. This lecture will address these aspects through the following topics:
-Fundamentals of surface and interface properties
-Surface treatment methods
-Techniques for measuring surface properties
-Electrical properties influenced by surface engineering

Speakers: Emre Arkan, Mesdue Zeliha Arkan

16 Basic lecture 3h | Unsupervised machine learning algorithms for complex data

Unsupervised machine learning algorithms for complex data
As part of the workshop, participants will be familiarized with the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, unsupervised learning. In practical applications, using this learning method is much more often necessary. We do not know how to classify data (texts, images, sounds), and we analyze data in terms of, among others, similarities by creating structures that allow you to identify the group to which the recognized object belongs quickly. The topics discussed during the workshop will include methods such as cluster analysis and outlier mining. An essential part of the workshop will be a comparative analysis of various cluster analysis algorithms regarding the type of data analyzed and input parameters affecting the final result, i.e., the created group structure. The student will learn the methods of data similarity analysis and the methods of creating representatives of the created groups. Then he will learn about the methods of searching the structures of clusters of objects. The result of the work will be a cluster analysis using different algorithms and different datasets to show which algorithms are suitable for analyzing a particular data type.

Prof. Sebastian Pawlus
The lecture will present the differences between stable and metastable states and explain what the amorphous phase is. In particular, it will present the properties of supercooled liquids as a large group of metastable systems from which amorphous glasses are formed. Ways of achieving this state and selected methods of testing its properties (e.g., dielectric spectroscopy, rheology) will be presented. Unique methods of testing the effect of high pressure during isothermal compression and isobaric cooling of supercooled systems, used at the Institute of Physics, will be presented. Examples of the practical use of materials in an amorphous state (medicines) will be presented. Selected examples will show how research methods used to study supercooled liquids are used to study other systems, including metal-organic hybrid materials

23 Basic lecture 3h | Electron microscopy as a tool for studying the structure of materials

Krystian Prusik, PhD, Assoc. Prof.
Direct observation of the structure of materials allows us to understand its influence on their properties. It is possible thanks to the use of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The use of an electron beam instead of visible light allows to increase the resolving power and the range of obtained magnifications even up to 20 million or more times. Such a magnification span allows for observation of matter at any scale: macro, micro or nano. Electrons are also one type of ionizing radiation that is able to remove bound electrons from electron shells, transferring some of its energy to individual atoms in the sample. One of the advantages of using ionizing radiation is that it produces a wide range of additional signals that provide us with information about the chemical composition and many other details about the materials under study. All this has resulted in electron microscopy being hailed as a complete material research tool of the last millennium.

25 Basic lecture 3h | Towards rational design of effective metal-based emitters and photosensibilizators

Prof. Barbara Machura
Transition metal complexes that exhibit enhanced absorption in the visible spectral region, high intersystem crossing (ISC) efficiency, and extended triplet excited-state lifetimes are highly promising candidates for use as photosensitizers. Such systems are particularly advantageous for applications in photocatalysis, photodynamic therapy (for generation of singlet oxygen or reactive oxygen species, ROS), and triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA UC) where low-energy light is converted into light of higher energy. Recent studies have shown that prolonging excited-state lifetimes in transition metal complexes can be achieved through population of triplet ligand-centered (³LC) states or formation of intraligand charge-transfer (³ILCT) states. In practice, this is accomplished by incorporating p-conjugated organic chromophores that possess long-lived non-emissive triplet states, as well as by introducing strong electron-donating organic substituents. This lecture will highlight correlations between ligand structural features and the resulting photophysical properties of transition metal complexes, with particular emphasis on their potential utility in aforementioned modern technologies.

26 Basic lecture 3h | Modern programming languages

Kornel Chromiński, PhD
Knowledge of at least one programming language is an indispensable element of knowledge that every IT specialist should have. Current trends in the development of programming languages, apart from improving code efficiency and increasing the possibilities, are also aimed at facilitating the writing of programs. A simplification for programmers is the simplification of programming languages, and the possibility of using numerous freamworks. One of the languages that from the beginning was focused on the ease of writing programs and simplified the structure of the code is Python. During the lectures, students will be introduced to the basics of this language. The lectures will also discuss the advantages of the Python language and its possibilities, both in terms of creating advanced desktop programs and web applications. Additional possibilities of the Python language, such as the possibility of data analysis and presentation, will also be discussed.

40 Basic lecture 3h | Analysis of the disordered structure of materials on the basis on the X-ray electron diffraction

Maciej Zubko, PhD, Assoc. Prof.
Classical crystallography is based on the description of the crystal structure by determining the position of atoms in a unit cell and is the essential tool for materials characterization. Developed for over a hundred years, it crystallography has established methods allowing to determine the crystal structure of the studied substances on the basis of X-ray or electron diffraction. It turns out, however, that for some types of materials such a description is insufficient because they exhibit a disordered crystal structure. In such cases, classical crystallography provides only information of the materials’ average crystal structure. Therefore, the information obtained on this basis may not be sufficient to fully know and understand the properties of the studied materials. The lecture will present selected methods of analyzing the structure of disordered materials on the basis of X-ray and electron diffuse scattering.

Sustainable chemistry is rapidly transforming how modern materials, chemicals, and energy carriers are produced. This lecture examines innovative green technologies that replace fossil-based routes with renewable resources, including biomass, agricultural residues, CO₂, and lignocellulosic waste. Natural feedstocks enable the creation of valuable compounds, from bioplastics and biodiesel to vanillin and alkyl levulinates, while also supporting the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles through clean, plant-based methods. Central attention is given to greener solvents—including supercritical CO₂, deep eutectic solvents, and bio-derived alternatives—that significantly reduce the environmental footprint compared to traditional options like THF or toluene. We will discuss challenges such as resource stability, energy efficiency, and competition with the food sector, alongside emerging applications in UV-shielding lignin composites, nanostructured sensors, microwave-assisted synthesis, and hydrate-based desalination. The lecture highlights how these technologies contribute to shaping a circular, low-carbon future for the chemical engineering industry.

61 Expert' lecture online 2h | From crystal structure to functional behavior: the physics of Shape Memory Alloys

Professor Rubén Santamarta Martínez from University of the Balearic Islands
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are materials that remember their shape. Along our lectures, we will explore how and why they do it and will uncover the fascinating martensitic transformation that lets these metals switch between phases and recover large strains, giving rise to the shape memory effect and superelasticity. We will visualize how atoms rearrange, how crystal variants form, and how these microscopic mechanisms translate into powerful macroscopic responses. Along the way, we will examine the key functional properties that engineers rely on, and learn how techniques such as calorimetry, mechanical testing and diffraction reveal what is happening inside the material. We will compare major SMA families, especially NiTi, and see how composition and processing tune their behavior. The lecture concludes with real-world applications, from medical stents to aerospace actuators, showing how SMA science meets smart-device design. The goal is to give you an intuitive, mechanism-based understanding of what makes these materials unique and how they are used to solve practical problems.

Sylwia Golba, PhD, Eng. Assoc. Prof. and Magdalena Szklarska, PhD

One plus one makes two. And when something falls, it breaks. But does it always? Do you ever find yourself questioning the unquestionable? Wondering (even quietly) if it really makes sense? Sometimes you just want to do it your way and see what happens if... So we'll do it our way. We'll ask plenty of less-than-serious and more-than-serious questions. And we'll see if it actually... works. Maybe in a "stupid" question there's a seed of wisdom? Come and find out. Because in materials engineering, that's exactly how discoveries begin -- when we test what "everyone knows," look closer at cracks, strengths, and surprises hidden in matter itself. Sometimes it's the unexpected question that leads to a new material, a better design, or a smarter solution.

74 Basic lecture 3h | Physical chemistry around us

Prof. Marzena Dzida
We'll learn why something warm has a higher temperature than something cold. Why we constantly have to clean our room and it's always a mess. We all know the phase transitions from our daily experiences of boiling water or watching an ice-cream melt on a hot day. Thanks to this, we begin to understand that there are different phases of matter and that, under the right conditions, matter can change phase, in which its properties change in a distinct and easily visible way. In this brief introduction, we consider the similarities and dissimilarities between phase transitions, and in particular how they are identified despite their sometimes exotic and different nature. We will analyze the phase diagram of water, carbon dioxide, tin. We will find and explain phase transitions around us and related effects. We will answer the following questions: How does a pressure cooker work? Why do we feel cold when we get out of the shower? Why are we ice skating and why can we throw snowballs? How can you get decaffeinated coffee? How is "Smoke" made in horror movies? We will describe the eruption of a geyser and much more.

Grzegorz Dercz, PhD, MSc, Assoc. Prof., Izabela Matuła, PhD, Assoc. Prof., Magdalena Szklarska, PhD.
The development of today's medicine and its opportunities pose a new challenge for scientists, which is the development of innovative biomaterials that meet a number of requirements determined by their destination. Optimization of the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of metallic materials can be achieved by selecting the phase and chemical composition, heat and plastic treatment, and also by modifying their surfaces. All types of biomaterials and their applications will be discussed during the lecture. A particular focus will be placed on titanium-based biomaterials as an alternative to the commonly used metallic biomaterials. The course will also present the most popular surface modification methods of biomaterials, which allow maintaining the appropriate proportions between the mechanical properties and the material's biocompatibility. The last part of the lecture will discuss issues related to the production of biomaterials. One of the methods of obtaining biomaterials is powder metallurgy, which has been developing very dynamically in recent decades. This method makes it possible to receive materials from powders without melting the main component. This method allows for products from hard-melting metals (tungsten, tantalum), sintered carbides, metals with a significant difference in melting point, which makes this method very widely applicable.
