This course builds a framework for first year graduate (or equivalent) students to succeed in the core materials science and engineering curriculum by establishing a real space and k-space description ...

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these ... between other layers during the crystal's formation; sometimes there are ...

A crystal is a solid with a periodic atomic structure and a deviation from the periodicity of the crystal lattice is called a defect. Crystalline defects include point defects (e.g. colour centres ...

the researchers created a crystalline solid out of 1a molecules, which are cyclic oligophenylenes with CO 2 H functional groups in the inner portion of their ring-like structure. When forming this ...

For a long time, it was thought that amorphous solids do not selectively absorb light because of their disordered atomic structure ... dichroism in amorphous and crystalline solids with helical ...
