Abstract | Introduction into the fundamental relationships between chemical composition, crystal structure, symmetry and physical properties of solids. | ||||
Objective | Introduction into the fundamental relationships between chemical composition, crystal structure, symmetry and physical properties of solids. Emphasis: group-theoretical introduction into symmetry, discussion of the factors governing the formation of crystal structures, structural dependence of physical properties, fundamentals of experimental techniques probing the crystal structure. | ||||
Content | Symmetry and order: lattices, point groups, space groups. Crystal chemistry: geometrical, physical and chemical factors governing the formation of crystal structures; close sphere packings; typical basic crystal structures; lattice energy; magnetic crystals; quasicrystals. Structure/property relationships: Example quartz (piezoelectricity); perowskite and derivative structures (ferroelectrics and high-temperature superconductors); magnetic materials. Materials characterization: diffraction techniques, optical techniques. | ||||
Lecture notes | A script of the lecture until 2014 is available. New script: to be decided. | ||||
Literature | Walter Borchardt-Ott: Kristallographie. Springer 2002. Dieter Schwarzenbach: Kristallographie. Springer 2001. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Organisation: Two hours of lectures per week accompanied by one hour of exercises. | ||||
