Course Description :

This course will introduce students to materials structure and their im-perfections, dislocations and strengthening mechanisms. In addition, they will study the macro, micro, nano, atomic structures, defects, phase transformation in metals. Principles of structure-property relationships of materials; control through processing. Alloy theory, phase diagrams, and microstructural development; application to ferrous and nonferrous alloys will be discussed. The course provides structures and properties in various materials, the role of structure in cyclic loading and high temperature applications, the role of structure in the interaction of mate-rials with the environment, the role of structure in physical properties of materials.

Course Description :

This course will provide Nanoscience students with principles that are essential to the study of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. The course will introduce the topics of fundamental forces acting at interfaces, liq-uid and solid surfaces, and basic surface thermodynamics. Also the topics of thin film nucleation, characterization techniques and instabili-ties that are inherent to thin films, will be discussed. The course in-cludes ultra-thin film deposition, modification, and integration of single and multilayered thin film materials. Surface and thin film processes- Surface structure and electronic properties, surface sensitive and ultra-high vacuum techniques are discussed. Thin film applications are also covered.
