Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths. vol. 5 5

The Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths is a continuous series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science including chemistry, life sciences, materials science, and physics. The main emphasis of the Handbook is on rare earth elements [Sc, Y and the lanthanides (La through Lu)] but whenever relevant, information is also included on the closely related actinide elements. The individual chapters are comprehensive, broad, up-to-date critical reviews written by highly experienced invited experts.Series Editors: Jean-Claude G. Bünzli, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland and Vitalij Pecharsky, Iowa State University The series, which was started in 1978 by Professor Karl A. Gschneidner Jr., attempts to combine and integrate both the fundamentals and applications of these elements. v. 1. Metals v. 2. Alloys and intermetallics v. 3-4. Non-metallic compounds v. 5.
