Features: This book reflects the teaching reform objectives of strengthening foundational knowledge, broadening specialization, and focusing on the cultivation of abilities and qualities. It primarily includes: the fundamentals of crystallography; the crystalline and amorphous structures, as well as structural defects of three major solid materials—related metals, inorganic non-metallic materials, and polymers; surfaces and interfaces; the basic theories of diffusion in solids, condensed matter phase equilibrium, phase diagrams, and phase transformation processes. The book consists of 9 chapters, each followed by exercises. It serves as a textbook for undergraduate public foundational theoretical courses in materials science and engineering at higher-level science and engineering colleges, and is also suitable for teaching and research purposes for postgraduate students in this field. The book can also be referenced by professionals engaged in the research, application, and production of solid materials.
