2.00 Credits
2 hours. This course provides an introduction to the optical spectra of solids. Materials discussed will include crystalline and amorphous ceramics, metals, semi-conductors, and polymers. The course will consider the primary optical phenomena that occur between the ultraviolet and infrared edges. A number of applications of optical materials that are based on their optical spectra will be discussed, including lasers, phosphors, solar cells, infrared windows, optical sensors, and photochromic/electrochromic materials. CE

3.00 Credits
3 hours. This course covers advanced topics in glass and related fields which are not ordinarily covered in the general curriculum, but are either current areas of faculty research interest or areas of current or anticipated industrial or academic interest. Examples of possible topics include, but are not limited to, rare elements in glasses, non-silicate oxide glasses, halides in glasses, chalcogenide glasses, sol-gel processing, specialized experimental methods, such as neutron and or x-ray diffraction spectra, characterization of glasses, biological applications of glass, glass-ceramics, computer modeling of glass structure, natural glasses, and other topics which correspond to interests of the students and faculty. This course may occasionally be taught by visiting faculty in areas of their specialization. Readings from the literature will normally be a significant component of this course. Prerequisite: CEMS 322. CE

2.00 Credits
2 hours. This course provides an introduction to the principles of basic optical phenomena in solids, particularly those based on the existence of a refractive index. Topics covered will include specular and diffuse reflection, refraction, birefringence, scattering, dispersion, and linear and circular polarization of light by interaction with solids. The effect of composition, temperature, and pressure/stress on the refractive index of solids will be discussed. Basic optical behavior of lenses, including lens defects, mirrors, and prisms will be introduced. Several applications of transparent optical materials will be covered, including non-linear optical materials, antireflection films, dielectric mirrors, and the origin of rainbows. Prerequisite: PHYS 126. CE
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. An introduction to the scientific principles of synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing of polymeric materials. Relationship of polymer properties and performance to the underlying structure and synthetic conditions is emphasized by application of appropriate scientific approaches. Hands-on experience with structure-property characterization of polymeric materials is included in the required laboratory. Prerequisite: CEMS 334 or CHEM 310. CE
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. Structure/processing/property relationships for metals with an emphasis on mechanical properties. Mechanical testing techniques and the effect of test temperature and strain rate on properties. Failure analysis, corrosion, fracture, fatigue, and creep. Brief introduction to the physical metallurgy of aluminum, titanium, magnesium and stainless steel alloys. Laboratory experiments emphasizing mechanical testing, heat treatment and microstructural development. Prerequisite: CEMS 336. CE
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. Courses of Instruction: New York State College of Ceramics 283 CE
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. Mechanics of deformable bodies with applications in the design of beams, columns, plates, shafts, and membranes. Kinetic and energy methods. Failure theories. Examples of mechanical design using ceramic materials are presented: refractories, electroceramics, and bioceramics. Prerequisite: CEMS 251 or MECH 241. CE
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. The influence of materials, design and processing on composite properties is investigated. Discussions include details concerning state-of-the-art fabrication technology and performance of continuous-fiber-reinforced composites. Reviews of the open literature are presented concisely in order to understand and identify approaches toward addressing composite materials limitations. Prerequisites: (CEMS 251 or MECH 241), CEMS 214. CE
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1-3 hours. Self-directed study. Prerequisite: Senior standing and approval of topic by faculty advisor and Dean's Office. Completed Plan of Study and permission of instructor required before registering for independent study. CE
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. This course focuses on grain boundary phenomena in electronic ceramics. The first part of the course covers topics such as thermodynamics, composition, structure, formation and characterization of interfaces (grain boundaries). Relevant topics in solid-state and liquid-phase-assisted sintering are covered. The second part of the course focuses on the electrical properties of grain boundaries. Important electronic and dielectric phenomena associated with semiconductors, dielectrics and ferroelectrics are reviewed. Electrical character of junctions (p-n, Ohmic contacts, Schottky barriers) are also discussed. These concepts will be extended to grain boundaries to explain the behavior of grain-boundary-controlled electronic ceramics such as PTCR thermistors, IBL capacitors and ZnO varistors. Prerequisites: PHYS 126, CEMS 237, 344. CE
