§  Defects in Crystals. Point defects, edge and screw dislocations their notation and concepts, energy of a dislocation, stacking fault, grains and grain boundaries, bulk defects.

§  Phase equilibria and phase transformations. Phase diagrams (phase rule, unary and binary diagrams), Diffusion, Phase Transformation– mechanisms and kinetics, nucleation and growth, TTT curves, Microstructure.

§  Mechanical Properties. Tensile properties (elasticity, yield and tensile strengths, ductility and toughness). Plastic deformation, slip, dislocation motion, Peierls stress. Strengthening mechanisms. Fracture, Fatigue and creep.

§  Electrical and Magnetic properties. Conductors, semiconductors and insulators. Band structure. Dielectric Materials (ferroelectrics). Magnetic Properties

Important Points

§  Students should feel free to ask questions at anytime during the lecture and other contact sessions (lab & tutorial).

§  Attendance is normally expected, except due to medical or other important reasons. Leave on medical grounds should be accompanied with medical certificate for the same.

§  Any use of unfair means (copying in exams, etc.) will lead to 'F' grade. It is your responsibility to see that other students do not copy from your exam paper. If unfair means is found then all parties involved will be penalized. Refer to website for detailed instructions regarding exams.

§  No make up midsem or quizzes.

§  For lecture classes, quizzes and exams seating plan has to be followed.

§  If student misses lab due to medical reasons, proper approved procedures need to be followed.

Evaluation

§  Mid-Semester Exam : 25%

§  Special Saturday Lab class in lieu of a holiday.
§  Cycle-1
§  Cycle-2

Instructions to be followed in ESO205 laboratory

1) Personnel safety is of paramount importance. Handle all lab equipment carefully.

2) Consult lab staff in case of any clarifications required.

3) Every student must wear shoes to the lab.

4) To avoid any injury the student must take permission of the laboratory staff before handling equipment.

5) Goggles must be worn for specific experiments (as instructed by TA/tutor/lab staff).

6) Regarding Lab report the following points are to be noted.

§  Laboratory report must be submitted on the same day as the experiment is performed (before leaving the lab).

§  Lab report must be submitted in standard sheet available at the shopping Centre. Students can contact lab staff for details.

§  Laboratory report will be submitted by group-wise.

§  The lab report must contain:
i) Title of experiment,
ii) Three or four lines starting the objectives,
iii) A few lines on the background,
iv) Name of all the equipments & tool used, along with one line description of their use,
v) Neatly labelled sketches of the observed microstructures (where applicable).
vi) Calculations performed along with conclusions should be written in the report.

7) Checked reports will be returned to the students at end of set-1 and set-2 experiments.

8) A special day will not be demarcated for Laboratory MAKE-UP. Hence, students are expected to attend all experiments. If student misses lab due to medical reasons, proper approved procedures need to be followed.

9) Optical microscopes contain various lenses; so therefore handle the microscope very carefully.
