Non-Metallic Solid Materials

Owing to their bond strengths, crystal structures, and band structures, non-metallic solid materials(ceramic materials) have unique properties and applications. The crystallinity of ceramic materials ranges from highly oriented to semi-crystalline, vitrified, and often completely amorphous (e.g., glasses). They also have unique electrical, optical, and magnetic functionalities. They find application in thermochemically demanding environments as structural materials.
