Ph 495 Materials Physics: Structure and Physical Properties of Ordered and Disordered Condensed Matter

Introduction to materials physics. Generalized geometric-structural crystallography is at the core of this field because it allows for the derivation of the physical properties of condensed matter. Crystallographic symmetries are treated as continuous features. Quantitative X-ray diffraction, crystal defects, textures, modulated structures, and quasicrystals are also discussed.
