This note covers the
following topics: introduction to crystal structures, physical methods for
characterizing solids, synthesis of solids, bonding in solids and electronic
properties, defects and non-stoichiometry, microporous and mesoporous solids,
optical properties of solids, magnetic and electrical properties,
superconductivity, nanostructures and solids with low-dimensional properties.
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.
Lecture note on earth material:
Fundamentals of earth materials, strategic minerals, metals, and their
geochemical importance and significance Earth materials-Atoms and elements,
elements and their formation in the universe, cosmochemistry Chemical bonds
that characterize Earth materials with symmetry, lattices, point groups, and
space groups. It further discusses metamorphic petrology, which is rich in
dealing with the processes and transformations that occur in Earth's crust.
The resource is also important to students of geology, mineralogy, and other
related courses for it provides an overview of the material composition and
structure of the Earth.
