Introduction to materials : metals and alloys, ceramics, polymer, semiconducting materials (application and engineering materials). Crystal structure of materials, Miller indices, x-ray diffraction techniques : chemical bonding; ionic, covalent, metallic etc., and related aspects : state of aggregation, glass formation, crystallization. Hume-Rothary rules of alloying. Defects in solids : point, line, planer defects and their role in different properties of materials. Diffusion in solids. Phase diagrams : monocomponent and binary systems, noin-equilibrium phase diagrams : applications (examples of selected systems). Kinetics of phase transformation, heat treatment of materials. Mechanical properties of materials : elastic, visco-elastic and plastic behavior, stress-strain relationship, relaxation and creep, strengthening mechanisms and fracture. Thermal properties : specific het, expansion, conductivity and application of these properties in selection of materials. Electrical and electronic properties : good conductors, insulators and semiconductors. Free electron theory, band theory, Fermi-Dirac statistics. Dielectric polarization, dielectric constant and loss measurements. Magnetic properties : diamagnetic, materials, applications, Optical properties : absorption and emission lasers. Environmental effects on materials

How to Crack the Paper
Light read through the textbook. Depending on who your professor is, the question paper style will change. The slides are usually enough to score decent marks, but for an Ex, depend on the textbooks.
