A graduate-level learning path covering the CALPHAD approach applied to oxide ceramic systems, from thermodynamic foundations to database construction and phase diagram assessment.
A graduate-level path to apply molecular dynamics and density functional theory for studying ceramic materials. It covers interatomic potentials for oxides, DFT for insulators, defect and surface energetics, and practical MD simulations, building from foundational concepts to advanced applications.
This graduate-level path develops a rigorous understanding of glass rheology, from fundamental viscoelasticity through advanced relaxation models, culminating in the practical application of these models to describe and predict glass behavior. Learners will explore Maxwell and Kelvin models, relaxation spectra, structural relaxation, and glass transition kinetics, integrating these concepts with advanced understanding of glass structure and viscosity.
This advanced graduate path systematically develops the phenomenological (Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire) and microscopic (soft-mode) theories of ferroelectrics, linking them to domains, hysteresis, phase transitions, and applications. It builds from crystallography and thermodynamics through soft-mode and order-disorder models to device-oriented topics.
This advanced graduate-level path develops the thermodynamic principles of surfaces and interfaces and applies them to grain boundaries and sintering in ceramics. It covers surface energy, grain boundary energy, dihedral angles, wetting, and grain growth thermodynamics, building from classical thermodynamics to practical applications.
This learning path equips graduate students and researchers with the knowledge to apply advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques for characterizing ceramics. It covers scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, emphasizing their principles, applications, and complementary use for comprehensive materials analysis.
This advanced graduate-level path develops the thermodynamic foundations and practical skills needed to apply phase equilibria principles to multicomponent oxide systems. It covers binary and ternary phase diagram interpretation, subsolidus phase relations, and key ceramic systems like Al2O3-SiO2 and MgO-Al2O3-SiO2, culminating in the application of these principles to real materials processing.
This path provides a systematic, graduate-level exploration of fracture in ceramics, focusing on toughening mechanisms such as transformation toughening, microcracking, and crack bridging, and their manifestation in R-curve behavior. It builds from fundamental linear elastic fracture mechanics to advanced micromechanical models and experimental characterization, equipping learners with both theoretical and practical understanding.
This learning path systematically covers the fundamental mechanisms of atomic diffusion in ceramic materials, from basic defect chemistry to advanced concepts like grain boundary and surface diffusion. It is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students with a background in materials science or solid-state chemistry.
This advanced learning path guides university students through the thermodynamics and crystallography of point defects in ceramics, covering Schottky and Frenkel defects, non-stoichiometry, defect equilibria, Kroger-Vink notation, and electrical conductivity. It builds from crystallographic foundations to defect chemistry and property relationships, emphasizing quantitative analysis and real-world implications.
