Lecture note on earth material: Fundamentals of earth materials, strategic minerals, metals, and their geochemical importance and significance Earth materials-Atoms and elements, elements and their formation in the universe, cosmochemistry Chemical bonds that characterize Earth materials with symmetry, lattices, point groups, and space groups. It further discusses metamorphic petrology, which is rich in dealing with the processes and transformations that occur in Earth's crust. The resource is also important to students of geology, mineralogy, and other related courses for it provides an overview of the material composition and structure of the Earth.

Material Science And Engineering

This textbook, authored by Dr. Swati Gangwar and Mr. Kapil Kumar, comprehensively covers the very basics of material science and engineering. Classifications of materials are taken up as metals, polymers, composite materials, and biomaterials; their properties and applications are described. Crystal structures are discussed in terms of Bravais lattices, Miller indices, and atomic packing factor. Students will also be introduced to X-ray crystallography and how it might be applied for the determination of inner structure of the materials. Its clarity in structure and rich detail make it extremely useful for courses ranging from introductory to advanced in material science and engineering. Significant emphasis throughout the text, quite markedly, on the importance of understanding material properties and their relationship with structure toward an effective design and application of an engineering material.

Materials Science for Engineers

This lecture note deals with the important areas that explain the interplay of materials, structure, and properties as tackled by the engineers. Metallurgy to crystal physics and Neumann's symmetry principle also have been dealt with. Equilibrium thermodynamics, neutron diffraction, and spectroscopy discussed alongside the major classes of materials and emerging nanostructured materials have also been dealt in this note. Since the material emphasizes practical applications, it is presented within the framework of advanced concepts like Moore's law and its implications for materials engineering. The note will prove useful to both engineering students and practicing engineers, and it discusses the scientific method as applied to questions of material selection and performance.
