Hi all ,, i have a course on nature and properties of materials next semester,,If u guys can pls advice me some good book which have nice coverage of the following topics ,,it will be highly appreciated.
ESO 214 NATURE AND PROPERTIES OF
MATERIALS, 3-1-3-1-5
Examples of materials highlighting Structure-
Processing-Property-performance
relations. 14 space lattices, unit cells, cubic
and HCP structures, Miller indices,
Packing, interstitials, different ceramic
structures; Non-crystalline/nanocrystalline
materials-definitions, concept of Tg,
local order, different polymer structures.
Structure determination using X-ray diffraction
(Bragg’s diffraction and structure
factor for cubic lattices); Point defects,
edge and screw dislocations-their notation
and concepts, energy of a dislocation,
stacking fault, grains and grain boundaries,
bulk defects;
PHASE EVOLUTION: Definition of
diffusivity, concept of activation energy,
examples of diffusion process; Definition
of a phase, phase rule, unary and binary
(eutectic, eutectic with terminal solid solutions)
systems and examples, phase diagrams
of important metal and ceramic systems,
Nucleation and growth (homogeneous
and heterogeneous), Introduction
to TTT curves, examples of various transformations;
MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR:
Measures of mechanical response (fundamental
measurable mechanical properties),
engineering and true stress-true
strain response, concept of yield point and
Elastic modulus (composite materials)
viscoelesticity, fracture toughness, stress
intensity factor, fracture energy, comparison
of these properties for different engineering
materials.
Deformation of single and polycrystalline
materials, slip systems, criticalshear stress, mechanisms of slip and
twinning; Fatigue and creep properties
of materials with suitable examples,
Strengthening mechanisms, Fracture in
ductile and brittle (Griffith’s Theory) solids,
ductile to brittle transition, ELECTRONIC
PROPERTIES: Drude theory
of metals, free electron theory (density
of states, Fermi energy, Fermi-Dirac statistics,
band theory of solids, existence
of metals and insulators, Brillouin zones),
Semiconductors (structures of elements
and compounds), equilibrium properties
of semiconductors, conductivity as a
function of temperature, measurement
of band gap, doping, law of mass action,
Hall effect, carrier concentration of mobility
of non-generate semiconductors,
Excess carrier generation, optical properties
of semiconductors, concept of
lifetime, I-V characteristics of p-n junction
and their applications as LEDs, lasers
and solar cells, Introduction to semiconductor
crystal growth and processing
modern methods of expitaxy (brief
introduction to quantum wells and
superlattices, if time permits), Dia-, paraferro-
and ferri magnetism; soft/hard
magnetic materials.
Dielectric and ferroelectric materials
(BaTiO3 as an example); linear and nonlinear
behaviour. resolved
