Solid State Physics and Materials Science

By Ashik
What is Solid?

The sate of matter in which materials are not fluid but retain their boundaries without support and having three dimension (length, breadth and thickness) as a geometric body or figure. Example:


»Atomic solid,

»Metallic solid,

»Molecular solid and 
» Ionic solid
 Solid can be divided in Crystalline and non- Crystalline of Solid


•Crystalline solid: Materials in which atoms are placed in a high ordered structure are called crystalline (Long range). Example: Metal, Insulator and Semiconductor 
•Non- Crystalline solid: Non- Crystalline solid divided in Amorphous solid and Polycrystalline:
–Amorphous solid:  Materials in which atoms are placed at random are called amorphose (short range)
–Polycrystalline:  Solid many small regions of single crystal

What is Materials? 
 
•Materials are made up of lot of little particles. How these particles are arranged determines their state. A materials state can be solid, liquid and gas.

–Solid: Solid can be hold their own shape unless something happens to them

–Liquid: Liquid flow and take the shape of their container

–Gases are usually invisible and spread out to fill up spaces


 Classes of Materials: Six Major Classes of Materials


•Metals

–Iron and Steel

– Alloys and Superalloys (e.g. aerospace applications)

– Intermetallic Compounds (high-T structural materials)

•Ceramics

– Structural Ceramics (high-temperature load bearing)

– Refractories (corrosion-resistant, insulating)

–Glass

– Electrical Ceramics (capacitors, insulators, transducers, etc.)

– Chemically Bonded Ceramics (e.g. cement and concrete

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

By Ashik
Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of ...

Winding Factor | Pitch Factor | Distribution Factor

By Ashik
Before knowing about, winding factor , we should know about pitch factor and distribution factor , as winding factor is the product of pitch factor and distribution factor . If winding factor is denoted by K w , pitch factor and distribution factor are denoted by K p and K d respectively, then, k w = k p k d . The pitch factor and distribution factor are explained below one by one.   Pitch Factor In short pitched coil, the induced emf of two coil sides is vectorically added to get, resultant emf of the coil. In short pitched coil, the phase angle between the emfs induced in two opposite coil sides is less than 180° (electrical). But we known that, in full pitched coil, the phase angle between the emfs induced in two coil sides is exactly 180° (electrical). Hence, the resultant emf of a full pitched coil is just arithmetic sum of the emfs induced in both sides of the coil. We well know that, vector sum or phasor sum of two quantities, is always less than their a...
