Covers methods for synthesizing solid state compounds, including high temperature ceramic and hydrothermal methods, and the challenges of avoiding volatile reactants.
Explores chemical bonding in solids, band structure, and surface scattering techniques for lattice parameter measurements and crystal orientation analysis.
Explores the concept of time in quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, time-resolved photoemission, attosecond time scales, and spin-orbit interaction spectroscopy.
