Crystalline Structure Course
Gain expertise in FCC and BCC crystal structures, including packing efficiency, slip systems, and creep mechanisms, to forecast material density, strength, and performance at elevated temperatures. Transform atomic-level knowledge into smarter alloy selection, failure prediction, and materials engineering choices in chemistry and beyond, with practical calculations and real-world applications.

What will I learn?
This course provides a quick, hands-on guide to mastering FCC and BCC lattices, unit cell shapes, coordination numbers, and packing factors. You will calculate theoretical density, atomic packing factors, and atoms per unit cell, then link these to slip systems, critical resolved shear stress, strength, ductility, creep, and high-temperature properties, using practical examples, tools, and key references for immediate use.
