Covers methods for synthesizing solid state compounds, including high temperature ceramic and hydrothermal methods, and the challenges of avoiding volatile reactants.
Covers the synthesis of solid state compounds using high temperature methods and the importance of stoichiometric reactions and non-hygroscopic materials.
Explores the historical significance of the 1983 CECAM workshop on the free-energy of solids and its impact on developing free-energy methods for hard-core models.
Explores intermolecular electron delocalization in solid-state materials, focusing on molecular orbital interactions and resulting electronic coupling.
Explores diffusion mechanisms in solids, including simple, vacancy, and interstitial mechanisms, cubic and non-cubic structures, and the calculation of diffusion coefficients.
Explores powder treatment through milling and classification techniques for ceramic production, covering crushing, milling, particle breakage, and powder synthesis.
Explores the concept of time in quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, time-resolved photoemission, attosecond time scales, and spin-orbit interaction spectroscopy.
