Description
This is the first of a two-semester course sequence on advanced ceramics. Physical ceramics will discuss crystal structures, point defects, diffusion and properties of advanced or high-technology ceramics that have been developed specifically to deliver superior mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic or optical properties. The ceramics that will be discussed will include oxides, carbides, nitrides, their solid solutions, and multiphase composites made of two or more constituents.
