Materials science — how atoms pack and solids behave
materials science
Crystals pack with a definite efficiency (the FCC factor 0.74); solids deform by Hooke's law; and whether a solid conducts is set by its electron bands. Three pillars rest on chemistry (the lattice), physical chemistry (mechanical and phase behaviour) and quantum mechanics (the bands). The stick (stick_materials_science_how_atoms_pack_and_solids_behave) seals the packing factor and an elastic strain (tools/seed_materials_science.py).
