Nature and Properties of Materials - An Introductory Course

Prof. Ashish Garg · IIT Kanpur

Start with lecture 1 At NPTEL

About

The course is first part of the broader course on Introduction to Nature of materials and would be suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of every branch of science and engineering. The first part of this course will focus on essentials of crystallography, crystal structures of different classes of materials, structure determination and defects in materials.

Intended audience: UG and PG students of science and engineering of non-materials related background.PREREQUISITES: 12th standard science background
