Material Science
- History of materials:
- Source of engineering materials;
- Categorization of engineering materials;
- Material properties and their application just to make an illustrative point;
- Periodic approach to engineering materials.
-------*-------
- Atomic bonding vis-a-vis properties of materials:
- Crystal structure and noncrystalline structure;
- Miller indices.
-------*-------
- X-ray diffraction, Defects, and their origin,
- Frenkel and Schottky defects;
- Order-Disorder transformations, an association of defects, non- stoichiometric solids;
- The role of defects in defining electronic properties of materials - Si, GaAs,
- Dislocation.
-------*------
- Diffusion in solids,
- Atom mobilities,
- Temperature and impurity dependence of diffusion,
- Various diffusion process.
