1.5 unit(s)

J. McDermid

Introduction to interfaces including free surfaces, grain boundaries and coherent and incoherent precipitate interfaces.Introduction to surface analysis techniques such as scanning Auger microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. Interfacial chemistry including adsorption isotherms, wetting of solid interfaces by liquids and solid/vapour interfaces. Interfacial phenomenon including segregation, formation of secondary phases and interfacial reaction phases, role of interfaces in creep, corrosion phenomenon, interfacial cohesion and the role of crystallographic anisotropy. Course evaluation will be based on assignments and a term project.
