Phase Transformations and Kinetic Processes in Materials
MECH 6357
Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science
This course covers diffusion, interfacial motion, nucleation, precipitation, order-disorder transitions, phase transformations, and dynamical processes at grain boundaries and on surfaces. Both macroscopic and atomic-scale approaches are used to understand these phenomena. Particular applications considered include phase transformations in bulk materials, surface evolution and thin-film growth, semiconductor processing, and nanomaterials synthesis. 3 credit hours.
Prerequisites: (MECH 5300 and MSEN 5310) or equivalents.
