This course describes the basics of material physics starting from an outline of the various crystal structures, the crystal
growth processes, the various defect types found in crystals, the types of dislocations, their nomenclature and their mathematical
descriptions. The course will cover processes like diffusion of atoms and crystal defects (voids, interstitial atoms, dislocations)
within the crystal lattice, and a thermodynamic description of the processes involved will be given. Several experimental
methods employed for the analysis of the composition and the microstructures including X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy
and nuclear methods (positron annihilation, muon spin resonance) are discussed. The students will be provided with all knowledge
required to understand deformation processes (bending, rolling) of materials.
The students will be able to learn various crystal structures, the possible crystal defects and their description. The students
will understand the principles of diffusion and the thermodynamic description of the processes. The students will be able
to learn the analysis methods of the various crystal defects.The students will be provided with all knowledge required to
understand the properties of real crystals and the deformation processes (bending, rolling) of materials.
