授業の目標 Course Objectives
This course is aimed at achieving an understanding of the physical properties of crystals. Crystals are governed by physical
constants that form arrays called tensors. This course will provide the attendee with the following essential tools that can be
applied to measurements on crystals or polycrystals, measurements that arise in almost all research fields in applied physics:
(1) Definition and examples of tensors, and how they change under crystal rotation
(2) Introduction to crystal structure and symmetry
到達目標 Course Goals
授業計画 Course Schedule
- Definition of tensors, including examples based on the tensor of electrical polarizability.
- Examples of tensors from different fields
- Transformation and symmetry of tensors
- Representation quadric, magnitude ellipsoid, principal axes
- Mohr’s circle
- Crystal symmetry and types of symmetries
- Symmetry operations and basic group theory, symmetry of lattices and crystal classification, effect of crystal symmetry on
properties represented by 2nd rank tensors
