This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the atomistic theory of crystal defects in materials, focusing on their thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics. Students will explore the classification, geometry, structure, and behavior of point and extended defects in pure materials, alloys, and compounds. The course emphasizes applying atomistic theory to interpret material behavior and to evaluate how defects influence key properties such as strength, ductility, diffusion, and phase stability.
