MSE- 522 :تركيب المواد :Structure of Materials

This course is intended to review physics and chemistry in the context of material science and engineering. To describe the different types of bonding in solids, and the physical ramifications of these differences. To describe and demonstrate diffraction, including interpretation of basic x-ray data. Give an introduction to the relation between processing, structure, and physical properties. Give the beginning student an appreciation of recent developments in materials science & engineering within the framework of this class.
The key aspect of the course is the following: Atomic arrangements in crystalline and non-crystalline materials. Crystallography, kinematic, and dynamical theories of diffraction, applications to x-rays, electrons, and neutrons. Interpretation of diffraction patterns and intensity distributions, application to scattering in perfect and imperfect crystals, and amorphous materials. Continuum description of structure emphasizing the tensor analysis of distortions in solids.
