MSE 5840
Kinetics, Diffusion, and Phase Transformation

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Course covers kinetic effects in solidification and solid state transformations that determine structure and ultimately properties of materials. Topics include phenomenological and atomistic theories of diffusion; diffusion in metals, alloys, ionic compounds, semiconductors, and polymers; introduction to general transport theory and non-equilibrium thermodynamics; interfaces and microstructure; nucleation, growth, and coarsening; solidification of alloys; diffusional and diffusionless transformations in solids.

When Offered Spring.
