This textbook provides students with a complete working knowledge of the properties of imperfections in crystalline solids. Readers will learn how to apply the fundamental principles of mechanics and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Their ordered atomic arrangements are why most minerals have a crystal structure, as repeating units layer up. There are a few rare exceptions for solids that are considered minerals and have an ...
