Disordered-Materials (327-2209-00L)
Teaching Goals
To impart detailed knowledge of structure-property relationships in complex materials, such as metallic glasses and other disordered materials, magnetic spin ice, and chemically disordered crystals.
Summary and Outline
Part 1 focuses on the synthesis and processing of amorphous materials using physical routes. The resulting structure is discussed, as well as their thermodynamics and kinetics. The course focuses in particular on the relationships between the structure of glassy metals and other disordered materials and their resulting mechanical, thermophysical, biomedical and electronic properties. As to processing, new manufacturing routes such as 3D printing of metals are also introduced.
Part 2 focuses on materials that contain both ordered and disordered aspects. Examples are magnetic spin ices and chemically disordered crystals.
