Explores chemical bonding in solids, band structure, and surface scattering techniques for lattice parameter measurements and crystal orientation analysis.
Introduces the basics of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on catalyst types, surface reactivity, and the role of surface energy in catalytic processes.
Explores electronic charge density, space-charge buildup, work function, charge transfer, molecular orbital theory, absorption geometry, and absorption on solids.
Discusses molecular structure and intramolecular electron delocalization, focusing on quantum mechanics and the transition from atomic to molecular orbitals.
