Covers the fundamentals of electron diffraction and its applications in understanding crystal structures and symmetry, including lattice vectors, lattice planes, and dark-field imaging techniques.
Explores path collective variables for sampling structural phase transformations, focusing on solid-solid transformations and topologically close-packed phases in complex alloys.
Introduces the basics of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on catalyst types, surface reactivity, and the role of surface energy in catalytic processes.
