Micro- and Macro-Properties of Solids: Thermal, Mechanical and Dielectric Properties (Springer Series in Materials Science, 80)

each Of The Eight Chapters Treats An Important Aspect Of Solid State Physics, Comprising A Complete Review Of The Particular Field. Typically, A Chapter Starts With Basic Information About A Property Of A Solid And The Related Experimental Techniques. This Is Followed By A Global Overview Which Brings Together All Important Contributions By Different Research Workers In The Field. This Overview Is Comprehensive And Covers Essential Literature Over The Past 60 Years. Each Chapter Concludes With A Detailed Discussion Of The Contributions Made By The Chapter Authors And Their Associates, In Some Cases Spanning The Last 45 Years. In Addition, Micro- And Macro-properties Of Solids Provides Data On New Materials Such As Rare-earth Metals, Semiconductors, Ferroelectrics, Mixed-valence Compounds, Superionic Conductors, Optical And Optoelectronic Materials And Biomaterials.
