Jan. 18, 2020, 1:47 p.m.

The College of Science is delighted to invite you to a seminar entitled:

“Stability and Elastic Properties in Solids”


which will be given by:

Mr. Bahaa M. Ilyas


on Sunday, January 19, 2020, 11:30 AM


the seminar will be held at 

Hall 3, Physics Department, College of Science, University of Duhok.


 

Description


Many physical properties of crystalline materials are direction dependent because the arrangement of the atoms in the crystal lattice are different in different directions. If one heats a block of glass it will expand by the same amount in each direction, but the expansion of a crystal will differ depending on whether one is measuring parallel to the a-axis or the b-axis. For this reason properties such as the elasticity and thermal expansivity cannot be expressed as scalars. 

A complete guide to simulating materials and calculating stability and mechanical properties in solids will be presented.
