Stacking Faults

Materials science; Metallurgy

All crystals whose structures can be described by layers are prone to stacking faults. A stacking fault is any defect that alters the periodic sequence of layers. These defects ...

Vacancy

Materials science; Metallurgy

A vacancy is a lattice position that is vacant because the atom is missing. It is created when the solid is formed. There are other ways of making a vacancy, but they also occur ...

Electrical Materials

Engineering; Mechanical engineering

Electrical materials are those which some how response to the electrical properties.Electrical materials may referred to metals,conductors,semiconductors,dielectrics,paramagnetic ...

Magnetic Materials

Engineering; Mechanical engineering

Magnetic materials are those materials that can be either attracted or repelled when placed in an external magnetic field and can be magnetized themselves. This magnetic field is ...

Optical Materials

Education; Knowledge

A material which is transparent to light or to infrared, ultraviolet, or x-ray radiation, such as glass and certain single crystals, polycrystalline materials (chiefly for the ...

Partial Dislocations

Materials science; Metallurgy

In the original concept of Volterra, the Burgers' vector of a crystal dislocation is a translation vector of the crystal, that is, a vector that connects atom positions so ...

Forging

Materials science; Metallurgy

In metallurgy, the process of shaping metal and increasing its strength by hammering or pressing. In most forging an upper die is forced against a heated workpiece positioned on a ...
