This University of York course
revolves around various issues concerning inorganic materials chemistry-
synthesis and characterization of solid-state materials. The course teaches the
methods of synthesis and analyses of inorganic compounds. It also covers the key
structural properties of solids. This book is published on magnetism,
specifically cooperative magnetism and dielectric properties describing
interactions between solids and electric fields. It also dwells on
superconductivity, one of the most important phenomena for materials science and
technology. This resource is appropriate for students and researchers who are
interested in the chemistry of inorganic materials as applied in electronics,
energy storage, and magnetic materials.
This lecture note deals with
the important areas that explain the interplay of materials, structure, and
properties as tackled by the engineers. Metallurgy to crystal physics and
Neumann's symmetry principle also have been dealt with. Equilibrium
thermodynamics, neutron diffraction, and spectroscopy discussed alongside
the major classes of materials and emerging nanostructured materials have
also been dealt in this note. Since the material emphasizes practical
applications, it is presented within the framework of advanced concepts like
Moore's law and its implications for materials engineering. The note will
prove useful to both engineering students and practicing engineers, and it
discusses the scientific method as applied to questions of material
selection and performance.
