Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
To understand various properties of complex matter such as liquids and amorphous solids at an atomic level, it is important to adopt both a theoretical approach based on statistical physics and an experimental approach such as x-ray and neutron scatterings. Using these approaches enables ones to obtain valuable information on structure and phonons and atomic dynamics in complex matter. The basic concepts and methods of these approaches are discussed in this class. |
