STRUCTURE OF MATERIALS
Types of Structure of Materials:
1.Subatomic Level - Electronic structure of
individual atoms that defines interaction
among atoms (interatomic bonding)
2.Atomic Level - Arrangement of atoms in
materials (for the same atoms can have
different properties, e.g. two forms of carbon:
graphite and diamond).
3.Microscopic Structure - Arrangement of
small grains of material that can be identified
by microscopy.
4.Macroscopic Structure - Structural elements
that may be viewed with the naked eye.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
Classification of Materials:
1. Metals - Materials in this group are composed of
one or more metallic elements (e.g., iron, aluminum,
copper, titanium, gold, and nickel), and often also
nonmetallic elements (e.g.,carbon,nitrogen,and
oxygen) in relatively small amounts.
2. Ceramics - are compounds between metallic and
nonmetallic elements;they are most frequently
oxides, nitrides, and carbides. For example, common
ceramic materials include aluminum oxide (or
alumina,Al2O3),silicon dioxide (or silica, SiO2),silicon
carbide (SiC),silicon nitride (Si3N4),and, in
addition,what some refer to as the traditional
ceramics—those composed of clay minerals (i.e.,
porcelain), as well as cement and glass.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
3. Polymers - include the familiar plastic and rubber
materials. Many of them are organic compounds that
are chemically based on carbon, hydrogen, and other
nonmetallic elements (i.e., O, N, and Si).
Furthermore, they have very large molecular
structures, often chainlike in nature, that often have
a backbone of carbon atoms.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
4. Composites - composed of two (or more)
individual materials,which come from the categories
previously discussed—metals, ceramics, and
polymers.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
Advanced Materials – Materials that are utilized in
high-technology (or high-tech) applications are sometimes
termed advanced materials. By high technology we mean a
device or product that operates or functions using relatively
intricate and sophisticated principles; examples include
electronic equipment (camcorders, CD/DVD players, etc.),
computers, fiber-optic systems,spacecraft,aircraft,and
military rocketry. It includes the following:
1.Semiconductors - have electrical properties that
are intermediate between the electrical conductors
(i.e., metals and metal alloys) and insulators (i.e.,
ceramics and polymers). Furthermore, the electrical
characteristics of these materials are extremely
sensitive to the presence of minute concentrations
of impurity atoms, for which the concentrations may
be controlled over very small spatial regions.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
2. Biomaterials - are employed in components
implanted into the human body to replace diseased
or damaged body parts. These materials must not
produce toxic substances and must be compatible
with body tissues (i.e., must not cause adverse
biological reactions).
3. Smart Materials - are a group of new and state-
of-the-art materials now being developed that will
have a significant influence on many of our
technologies. The adjective smart implies that these
materials are able to sense changes in their
environment and then respond to these changes in
predetermined manners—traits that are also found
in living organisms. In addition, this “smart” concept
is being extended to rather sophisticated systems
that consist of both smart and traditional materials.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
Some components of a smart materials:
1. Sensors – detects an input signal.
Materials/devices employed
as sensors include optical fibers, piezoelectric
materials (including some polymers),and
microelectromechanical systems.
2. Actuators – performs a responsive and
adaptive function. It may be called upon to
change shape, position, natural frequency, or
mechanical characteristics in response to
changes in temperature, electric fields, and/or
magnetic fields
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
Four types of materials which are commonly
used for actuators:
a. Shape-memory alloys – metals that, after
having been deformed, revert back to
their original shape when temperature is
changed.
b. Piezoelectric ceramics – expand and
contract in response to an applied electric
field (or voltage). Conversely, they also
generate an electric field when their
dimensions are altered.
c. Magnetostrictive materials – The behavior is
analogous to that of the piezoelectrics,
except that they are responsive to
magnetic fields.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
d. Electrorheological/magnetorheological fluids
- are liquids that experience dramatic
changes in viscosity upon the
application of electric and magnetic
fields, respectively.
3. Nanomaterials - One new material class that
has fascinating properties and tremendous
technological. It may be any one of the four basic
types—metals,ceramics,polymers,and composites.
unlike these other materials, they are not
distinguished on the basis of their chemistry, but
rather, size; the nano-prefix denotes that the
dimensions of these structural entities are on the
order of a nanometer (10–9 m)—as a rule, less
than 100 nanometers (equivalent to approximately
500 atom diameters).
ATOMIC STRUCTUCE AND
INTERATOMIC BONDING
Atomic Number (Z) – The number of protons in the
nucleus of a chemical elements. For an electrically
neutral or complete atom, it is also equals the
number of electrons. It is in integral units from 1 for
hydrogen to 92 for uranium, the highest of the
naturally occurring elements.
Atomic Mass (A) – (of a specific atom) may be
expressed as the sum of the masses of protons and
neutrons within the nucleus.
Isotopes - an elements have two or more
different atomic masses
Atomic Weight – It corresponds to the weighted
average of the atomic masses of the atom’s
naturally occurring isotopes.
ATOMIC STRUCTUCE AND
INTERATOMIC BONDING
Atomic mass unit (amu)– may be used to compute
atomic weight. A scale has been established
whereby 1 amu is defined as 1/12 of the atomic
mass of the most common isotope of carbon,
carbon 12 (12C) (A = 12.00000).
Within this scheme,the masses of protons and
neutrons are slightly greater than unity, and
A≅𝒁+𝑵
The atomic weight of an element or the molecular
weight of a compound may be specified on the basis
of amu per atom (molecule) or mass per mole of
material. In one mole of a substance there are 6.022
= 1023 (Avogadro’s number) atoms or mass per
mole of material.
ATOMIC STRUCTUCE AND
INTERATOMIC BONDING
In one mole of a substance there are 6.022 X 1023
(Avogadro’s number) atoms or molecules.
These two atomic weight schemes are related
through the following equation:
1 amu/atom 1or molecule2 = 1 g/mol

INTERATOMIC BONDING
ELECTRONS IN ATOMS
Quantum Mechanics - the establishment of a set of
principles and laws that govern systems of atomic and
subatomic entities. An understanding of the behavior of
electrons in atoms and crystalline solids necessarily involves
of this concepts.
Bohr atomic model- A model in which electrons are
assumed to revolve around the atomic nucleus in discrete
orbitals, and the position of any particular electron is more
or less well defined in terms of its orbital. Thus, it represents
an early attempt to describe electrons in atoms, in terms of
both position (electron orbitals) and energy (quantized
energy levels).
