For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This course is a three-part series which explains the basis of the electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials including semiconductors, metals, organics, and insulators. We will show how devices are built to take advantage of these properties. This is illustrated with a wide range of devices, placing a strong emphasis on new and emerging technologies. The first part of the course covers electronic materials and devices, including diodes, bipolar junction transistors, MOSFETs, and semiconductor properties. The second part covers optical materials and devices, including photodetectors, solar cells (photovoltaics), displays, light emitting diodes, lasers, optical fibers, optical communications, and photonic devices. The final part of the series covers magnetic materials and devices, including magnetic data storage, motors, transformers, and spintronics. This course was organized as a three-part series on MITx by MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering and is now archived on the Open Learning Library, which is free to use.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Structure—or the arrangement of materials’ internal components—determines virtually everything about a material: its properties, its potential applications, and its performance within those applications. This three-part course explores the structure of a wide variety of materials with current-day engineering applications. Taken together, the three modules provide similar content to MIT’s sophomore-level materials structure curriculum. Part 1 of the course introduces amorphous materials and explores glasses and polymers, the factors that influence their structure, and how materials scientists measure and describe the structure of these materials. Then we discuss what it means for a material to be crystalline, how we describe periodic arrangement of atoms in a crystal, and how we can determine the structure of crystals through x-ray diffraction. Parts 2 and 3 explore the structure of materials in further depth.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm In this course, we will explore what makes things in the world the way they are and why, to understand the science and consider the engineering. We learn not only why the physical world behaves the way it does, but also how to think with chemical intuition, which can’t be gained simply by observing the macroscopic world. This 2018 version of 3.091 by Jeffrey Grossman and the 2010 OCW version by Don Sadoway cover similar topics and both provide complete learning materials. This 2018 version also includes Jeffrey Grossman’s innovative Goodie Bags, Why This Matters, and CHEMATLAS content, as well as additional practice problems, quizzes, and exams. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-engineering/3-091-introduction-to-solid-state-chemistry-fall-2018 Fall 2018 Grossman, Jeffrey 2020-12-02T17:58:43+05:00 3.091 en-US scientific method atom chemical reaction balancing law of conservation of mass combustion reaction limiting reagent yield mole Avogadro’s number atomic mass units (AMUs) groups Main Group Elements Transition Elements alpha particles beta particles gamma rays nucleus protons atomic number neutrons mass number isotopes Bohr model quantization ground state excited states absorption emission photoelectric effect Photo-Electron Spectroscopy (PES) wave-particle duality Schrodinger Equation orbital wave function Aufbau principle electronic configuration Hund’s rule periodic trends Photo-electron Spectroscopy (PES) electron affinity Lewis Dot Diagrams octet rule Covalent bonds polarity Electronegativity expanded octet intermolecular forces (IMFs) ion-dipole interaction dipole-dipole induced dipoles London dispersion forces (LDF) hydrogen bonds continuous band of electronic state overlap band gap conduction band band gap conduction band valence band lattice sea of electrons high electrical conductivity high thermal conductivity high heat capacity ductility luster conductivity heat malleable half-filled valence bands long-range order crystal lattice radiation metal target atom x-ray generation medical imaging crystal lattice vacancies interstitial impurities self-interstitials substitutional impurities dislocations slip-planes silica crystalline solids Corning chain scission network modifier tempered compressive stress Le Chatelier's principle common ion effect acids bases naturalization polymers radical polymerization condensation polymerizationpolymer properties weight, branding, tactility cross linking MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

In this seminar you'll be introduced to metallurgy in a particularly "physical" way. We will do blacksmithing, metal casting, machining, and welding, using both traditional and modern methods. The seminar meets once per week for an evening laboratory session, and once per week for discussion of issues in materials science and engineering that tie in to the laboratory work. Students will begin by completing some specified projects and progress to designing and fabricating one forged and one cast piece. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-engineering/3-a04-modern-blacksmithing-and-physical-metallurgy-fall-2008 Fall 2008 Tarkanian, Michael 2009-12-14T18:59:09+05:00 3.A04 en-US freshman seminar forge casting lost-wax steel phase diagrams student work photos MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

It begins with an analysis of the properties of materials, presentation of the postulates of quantum mechanics, and close examination of the hydrogen atom, simple molecules and bonds, and the behavior of electrons in solids and energy bands. Introducing the variation principle as a method for the calculation of wavefunctions, the course continues with investigation of how and why materials respond to different electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields and probes and study of the conductivity, dielectric function, and magnetic permeability in metals, semiconductors, and insulators. A survey of common devices such as transistors, magnetic storage media, optical fibers concludes the semester.

After all the abstraction and theory in the lecture part of the DMSE curriculum, many students have found this hands-on experience with materials to be very fun stuff - several have said that 3.042/3.082 was their favorite DMSE subject. The lab is more than operating processing equipment, however. It is intended also to emulate professional practice in materials engineering project management, with aspects of design, analysis, teamwork, literature and patent searching, Web creation and oral presentation, and more. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-engineering/3-042-materials-project-laboratory-spring-2008 Spring 2008 Roylance, David Chiang, Yet-Ming 2009-01-26T20:37:08+05:00 3.042 en-US Student project teams design and fabricate a materials engineering prototype using processing technologies (injection molding thermoforming investment casting powder processing three-dimensional printing physical vapor deposition etc.) appropriate for the materials and device of interest.

Engineers are one class of expert who can help display evidence in a new light to solve cases. In this seminar you will be part of the problem-solving process, working through both previously solved and unsolved cases. Each week we will investigate cases, from the facts that make up each side to the potential evidence we can use as engineers to expose culprits. The cases range from disintegrating airplane engines to gas main explosions to Mafia murders. This seminar will be full of discussions about the cases and creative approaches to reaching the solutions. The approach is hands-on so you will have a chance to participate in the process, not simply study it. Some background reading and oral presentation are required. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-engineering/3-a27-case-studies-in-forensic-metallurgy-fall-2007 Fall 2007 Russell, Kenneth Sedransk, Kyra 2008-05-06T18:41:31+05:00 3.A27 en-US case studies failure fracture seminar stainless steel aluminum catastrophic failure soldering brazing welding corrosion oxidation fatigue MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
