The study of disorder in solids is one of the key areas in
contemporary solid state science. In crystalline solids there are
well-developed models for describing the way in which defects
control the atomic transport, thermodynamic and spectroscopic
properties. In contrast, the conceptual and theoretical framework
for describing these properties in amorphous solids is less well
developed, partly due to the uncertainties in the structural models
used to represent the disordered systems. Moreover, disordered
solids include materials of great contemporary technological
importance, for example, ceramic superconductors and amorphous
semiconductors. The field has developed rapidly in the last few
years, driven both by technological needs for improved materials
and by the fundamental scientific problems posed by disorder in
solids. Progress has been especially rapid in structural studies,
using diffraction, EXAFS, NMR and microscopy techniques, in
investigation of atomic and charge transport and in the application
of theoretical and computational methods. The book provides a
unified approach to disorder in solids. The earlier chapters
present a survey of the theoretical and structural concepts used in
describing defective and amorphous solids and the basic properties
of these materials. The next chapters are devoted to a thorough
survey of techniques and properties, including structural studies,
transport, thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties and
theoretical and computational techniques. The final chapters review
materials and applications, including fast-ion conductors, sensors,
amorphous semiconductors and novel glasses. It therefore presents a
unique survey of an important field incontemporary solid state
science.
