Crystalline Structure Course
Gain expertise in FCC and BCC crystal structures, atomic packing, slip systems, and creep mechanisms to forecast material density, mechanical strength, and performance at high 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 links.

What will I learn?
This course provides a rapid, hands-on guide to mastering FCC and BCC crystal lattices, unit cell shapes, coordination numbers, and packing efficiency. You will calculate theoretical densities, atomic packing factors, and atoms per unit cell, then relate these to slip systems, critical resolved shear stress, strength, ductility, creep resistance, and elevated-temperature properties, using practical examples, tools, and key references for instant application.
