ME 180: CRYSTALLINE DEFECTS
University of California, Santa Barbara
An in-depth look into the many classes of defects (e.g., point, linear, and planar) and the role they play in crystalline materials. While we cannot e liminate defects and they are usually seen as a weakness, proper understand ing of defects is the best way to design stronger and better materials. Exa mples of the types of defects we may cover are vacancies, dislocations, gra in boundaries, interfaces, and twins. We will study their formation, mobili ty and interaction in environments where they are commonly found, such as e levated temperatures, mechanical strains, or irradiation.
