  3. In this module, we will look at the methods for identifying and studying structure in crystalline materials and at surfaces. The first part will give an introduction to the experimental techniques used in crystallograpy. The THIRD part of the module looks at surface structure. A large armoury of new techniques have been developed in the last 20 years to study the properties of the surfaces of solids using incident electrons, ions and photons (infra-red to X-rays) and detecting a similar set of emergent particles under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The SECOND part will focus on magnetism and magnetic structure. Dr. Oleg Petrenko Office: P240 Prof. C. McConville Office: P429 Timetable: There are more than the 30 lectures timetabled. Don’t panic!

  4. Objectives for part 1 • Understand how thermodynamics and bonding are responsible for crystal structure and material properties • Have knowledge of simple crystal structures and how they relate to bonding requirements. Be able to reproduce the bcc, fcc, diamond and perovskite structures and be able to explain the concepts of the lattice and the basis. • Understand the structural origin of the ferroelectric effect. • Be able to explain the difference between a first and second order phase transition and justify why they occur from a thermodynamic point of view. • Be able to read and use a unary and binary phase diagram and calculate phase compositions and relative amounts. Understand the diffusive mechanisms in determining structure and predict the evolution of structure using a eutectic phase diagram. • Have an understanding of different crystal growth methods and the types of materials they produce.

  10. Bonding in Solids Arrangement of atoms in a solid (on a local atomic level) is driven by energy considerations Require a thermodynamical treatment of atomic positions and bonding….

  11. Entropy: A measure of disorder or randomness in a system: Enthalpy: The total energy of a thermodynamic system. It is the sum of the internal energy of a body and the energy associated with displacing it from its environment: Thermodynamics U is the Internal energy of crystal

  12. The Gibbs Free Energy • Is a measure of the energy that depends on both enthalpy and entropy: Also known as the free enthalpy

  13. Enthalpy, H • Largest contribution comes from the internal energy U: • Potential due to bonding • Lattice vibrations (phonons and magnons) • Entropy, S • Disorder in atomic positions / moments • Thermal vibrations about average position Initially we will assume that the lattice vibrations do not contribute to H

  14. Gibbs free energy “Every system seeks to achieve a minimum of free energy.” Stable at x=0 Unstable at x=0

  15. Stable Phases Solid Liquid DISORDERED ORDERED At low temperatures the Gibbs free energy is lowered by minimising the enthalpy (H=U-PV) and this is associated with an ordered ground state. As the temperature rises it becomes more important to maximise the entropy (S).

  16. Low Temp, TS < H Minimise enthalpy High Temp, TS > H Maximise entropy Solid Phase Minimum G when H is at optimum value U stabilised by bonding - ORDERED Liquid Phase: Disorder becomes more important Bonding requirements loosened Gas Phase: No-longer any real bonding requirements dominated by S and high disorder - DISORDERED

  17. SOLIDS - Internal Energy • Assume that the contribution to the internal energy of the lattice arising from vibrations is low (meV) Energy, U proportional to position of atoms in unit cell Position determined by bonding potential, fij which only depends on separation, rij. Expect fij to depend on the type of bonding and to be different for ionic, covalent, etc.

  25. Ionic Materials Range of materials such as NaCl, CsCl, MgO etc. Moderate fall-off First and second nearest neighbours attract Strong bond High melting temperatures Non-directional – bond strength same in all directions brittle and hard materials All positive ions surrounded by negative ions and want to maximise the number of nearest neighbours Simple Cubic Structures
