Spring 2024 Lecture Upper DivisionPhysical and chemical processes responsible for microstructure development in modern ceramic materials, and the relationship between microstructures and physical properties. The material covered is divided into three parts: solid state processes, including structural defects, diffusion, sintering and grain growth, reaction rates, nucleation and growth, and microstructure development; mechanical and thermal behavior, including deformation, strength, thermal properties, and thermal and compositional stresses; and electrical and magnetic behavior, including electrical conductivity, dielectric properties, and magnetic properties. Offered in alternate years.
