Abstract

Cyril Smith1 has called attention to the importance of a structural hierarchy in materials. Although the structural elements of concern to materials science span finite size limits ranging from atomic dimensions to the scale of a manufactured component, the structural hierarchy within these limits is of infinite complexity, so that we can never expect to fully characterize the structure of any real material. This may make the task of understanding structure/property relationships seem impossible, but the situation is not quite so hopeless if we accept the dual nature of structure/ property relationships emphasized by Morris Cohen2. While we tend to think of properties as controlled by structure, it is the nature of the intellectual exercise of materials science that we can equally well consider structure to be controlled by properties. That is, what we see when we look in a microscope is a function of what we are trying to explain.
