Course Overview

Fundamental topic of ceramics science is to make clear the characteristics and origins of atomic structure and microstructure of functional inorganic materials, and their relationship to physical properties. This lecture will span and cover in detail, basics of atomic bonding, crystal structure of inorganic materials, and their physical properties such as electrical, thermal, thermoelectric, magnetic, etc. In particular it will focus on deriving particular structure-property relationship of ceramic materials. Effects of different defect types and microstructures will also be explained, together with introduction of various applications and devices.
