Explore a comprehensive and illuminating introductory text to the
science of solid materials from a leading voice in the field The
newly revised Third Edition of Understanding Solids: The Science of
Materials 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. 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: A thorough
introduction to the states of aggregation, including atoms and
bonding, microstructures and phase relationships, and crystal
structures and defects A comprehensive overview of different
categories of solids, including metals, crystalline silicates,
inorganic ceramics, and silicate glasses An exploration of
reactions and transformations, including diffusion and ionic
conductivity, phase transformations, and phase reactions A
treatment of oxidation and reduction, including galvanic cells and
chemical analysis Perfect for undergraduate students in sciences,
engineering, and technology, Understanding Solids: The Science of
Materials 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.
