Materials science asks why solids behave the way they do — why metals bend instead of snap, why some crystals conduct electricity and others don't. This tag brings together six simulations that model those mechanisms directly: Dislocation & Crystal Slip and Crystal Dislocations show how line defects and the Burgers vector let metals deform plastically, Alloy Phase Diagram maps how a binary eutectic solidifies, and Semiconductor Band Structure alongside Band Structure visualise the conduction and valence bands that decide whether a material is a metal, semiconductor or insulator. Superconductivity rounds it out with zero-resistance electron behaviour at low temperature. Filter by this tag for the engineering side of solid-state physics.

📊 Facts about this collection
- 6 simulations, no articles yet — this is a compact, sim-only collection.
- Two sims cover the same core concept from different angles: Dislocation & Crystal Slip and Crystal Dislocations — Edge Defects, Burgers Vector & Hall-Petch.
- Electronic structure is covered twice too, via Semiconductor Band Structure and the more general Band Structure.
- Alloy Phase Diagram — Binary Eutectic is the only phase-diagram sim in the set, and Superconductivity is the only one dealing with low-temperature quantum effects in a solid.
