Abstract
Solid state materials are everywhere and to know how they form, react, and respond to external stimuli is essential to understanding geology, life processes, and modern technology. The culmination of hundreds of years of scientific thought and experiment has led to the realization that the energy, structure, and properties of matter are deeply intertwined. To improve the solid state materials used in our lives, we must search for connections between composition, atomic arrangement, and physical properties.Many of the advanced solid state materials used in our lives today are found in electronics and computers. Society has been ushered into the ‘computer age’ of ever shrinking transistors and diodes in part because materials scientists and engineers have learned so much about the interconnectedness of composition, structure, and properties.
