Introduction
MAE 2321
Classification of Materials • Metals: Metallic elements, large numbers of nonlocalized electrons, Quite strong, yet deformable, Good conductors of electricity. • Ceramics: Compounds between metallic and nonmetallic elements, such as oxides, nitrides, and carbides. Hard but very brittle, Insulators of electricity • Polymers: Organic compounds; very large molecular structures. Usually not for high temperature applications. (eg: plastics, rubbers) • Semiconductors: Elements in between metallic and non metallic elements (see periodic table) or their compounds. The electrical properties are extremely sensitive to the presence of minute concentrations of impurity atoms, which can be controlled over very small spatial regions. • Composites: Consist of more than one materials type. Better combination of properties.

MAE 2321
Why study atomic structure and interatomic bonding? • Atomic arrangement determines the material properties (mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, magnetic) • Example: Carbon (C) • Diamond • Graphite • Carbon Nanotube • C60 (Buckyball)

Fundamental Concepts • Atom: Composed of proton, neutron, electron • Atomic Number (Z): The number of protons in the nucleus ex: H(Z=1), U(Z=92) • Atomic Mass (A): The mass of an atom • Atomic Mass Unit (amu): •A≈Z+N • Isotopes: the same Z, but different N Ex: 1H (hydrogen): A ≈ 1+ 0 = 1 2H (deuterium): A ≈ 1+ 1 = 2 MAE 2321
Fundamental Concepts (cont.) • Atom Weight: The weighted average of the atomic masses of the atom’s naturally occurring isotopes. Ex: The atomic weight of iron is 55.85 amu (55.86g/mol)

Review of Quantum Mechanics What is Quantum Mechanics? A systematic description of physical phenomena in the atomic scale (can be extended to the macro scale)
MAE 2321
The job of Quantum mechanics is to find a rule for the phenomena occurring in the atomic world

Quantum Mechanics • Bohr atomic model: Earlier Quantum Mechanics • Discrete orbitals (Fig. 2.1). • Energies of electrons are quantized (Fig. 2.2). • Wave-mechanical model: correct one • Electrons are no longer treated as a particle moving in a discrete orbital. • The probability to find an electron at a certain position is provided (Fig. 2.3).

METALLIC CRYSTALS • tend to be densely packed. • have several reasons for dense packing: -Typically, only one element is present, so all atomic radii are the same. -Metallic bonding is not directional. -Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in order to lower bond energy.
