MATERIALS SCIENCE ASSIGNMENT
(Introduction to Materials, Atomic Bonding & Crystal Structure)
-
Chapter 2 Key Points
-
-
-
‑ Found in non‑metal molecules, diamond, Si, SiC, GaAs
-
‑ Diamond: 3D covalent network, hard, high melting point, no free electrons (no conduction)
‑ Graphite: layered structure; strong covalent within layers, weak forces between layers; soft, conducts electricity
-
-
-
-
-
-
Secondary bonding (no electron transfer / sharing, weak)
-
‑ Van der Waals bonds: exist in nearly all substances; from fluctuating or permanent dipoles; low binding energy
-
Bond‑property summary
‑ Ceramics (ionic / covalent): large bond energy, high T_m, low thermal expansion
‑ Metals (metallic): variable bond energy, ductile, good conductivity
‑ Polymers: covalent inside chains, secondary bonds between chains; low T_m, large thermal expansion

Crystal system
-
Crystallographical point ,plane and direction
direction
defined as a line between 2 points, or a vector
-
-
crystallographically equivalent directions are directions that can be transformed into one another by the symmetry operations of the crystal,while leaving the overall atomic arrangement unchanged.
equivalent directions are called indices of a family. [100], [010], [001], [ 0 ̅1 0], [00 ̅1], [ ̅100]=<100> on;y for cubic system

-
-
-
single crystal,polycrystalline materials
single crystal
periodic and repeated arrangement of atoms is perfect or throughout the entirely of specimen without interruption
(crystal properties reveal the features of atomic structure)
-
polycrystal
-
stages of solidification
(1)small crystal nuclei
(2) growth of the crystallites;the obstruction of some grains that are adjacent to one another have formed.
(3)upon completion of solidification,grains having irregular shapes have formed
(4) optical microscope observation;dark lines are the boundary.
properties may/may not vary with direction.
if grains are randomly oriented: isotropic.
if grains are textured,anisotropic
