Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
Covers the fundamentals of electron diffraction and its applications in understanding crystal structures and symmetry, including lattice vectors, lattice planes, and dark-field imaging techniques.
Introduces the basics of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on catalyst types, surface reactivity, and the role of surface energy in catalytic processes.
