This series of books, which is published at the rate of about one
per year, addresses fundamental problems in materials science. The
contents cover a broad range of topics from small clusters of atoms
to engineering materials and involve chemistry, physics, materials
science, and engineering, with length scales ranging from Angstroms
up to millimeters. The emphasis is on basic science rather than on
applications. Each book focuses on a single area of current
interest and brings together leading experts to give an up-to-date
discussion of their work and the work of others. Each article
contains enough references that the interested reader can access
the relevant literature. Thanks are given to the Center for
Fundamental Materials Research at Michigan State University for
supporting this series. M.F. Thorpe, Series Editor E-mail:

The study of the atomic structure of crystalline materials began at
the beginning of the twentieth century with the discovery by Max
von Laue and by W.H. and W.L. Bragg that crystals diffract x-rays.
At that time, even the existence of atoms was controversial.
