Overview
Description
This course provides an introduction into non-crystalline solids with an emphasis on oxide and metallic glasses. The course will begin with an examination of kinetic theories of glass formation, followed by an exploration of composition-structure and property relationships, which can be tailored to fulfill particular sets of product requirements. Amorphous materials and fabrication techniques will also be discussed.
