<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A basic understanding of the physical and chemical properties of solids is essential to materials science, physics chemistry, and engineering. The scientific exploration of solid materials represents one of the most important, fascinating and rewarding areas of scientific endeavour in the present day, not only from the viewpoint of advancing fundamental understanding but also from the industrial perspective, given the diversity of applications of solid materials across the full range of commercial sectors"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Explore a comprehensive and illuminating introductory text to the science of solid materials from a leading voice in the field</b></p> <p>The newly revised Third Edition of <i>Understanding Solids: The Science of Materials</i> delivers a complete yet concise treatment of the basic properties and chemical and physical behaviors of solid materials. Following a completely revised opening set of chapters in which the basic properties of solids--including atomic structure, chemical bonding, crystallography, and phase relationships--are discussed, the book goes on to describe new developments in the areas of batteries and fuel cells, perovskite solar cells, lighting and displays, nanoparticles, whiskers, and sheets.</p> <p>The distinguished author has also added sections about organic framework structures, superionic conductors, mechanochemistry, bi-layer graphene, hologram formation and recording, and the optics of nanoparticle arrays and thermochromic materials. Each chapter includes a Further Reading section to help students accumulate additional knowledge on the topic within and new problems have been added throughout the book. Readers will also enjoy the inclusion of: </p> <ul> <li>A thorough introduction to the states of aggregation, including atoms and bonding, microstructures and phase relationships, and crystal structures and defects</li> <li>A comprehensive overview of different categories of solids, including metals, crystalline silicates, inorganic ceramics, and silicate glasses</li> <li>An exploration of reactions and transformations, including diffusion and ionic conductivity, phase transformations, and phase reactions</li> <li>A treatment of oxidation and reduction, including galvanic cells and chemical analysis</li> </ul> <p>Perfect for undergraduate students in sciences, engineering, and technology, <i>Understanding Solids: The Science of Materials</i> will also earn a place in the libraries of anyone seeking a thoroughly up to date, one-stop reference to the science of solid materials.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>Explore a comprehensive and illuminating introductory text to the science of solid materials from a leading voice in the field</b></p><p>The newly revised Third Edition of <i>Understanding Solids: The Science of Materials</i> delivers a complete yet concise treatment of the basic properties and chemical and physical behaviors of solid materials.
