Defects in Solids
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Oct 2008, Pages: 530
The properties of solids are controlled not solely by their chemical composition, but by the defects that may exist in their structure. Understanding the nature of these defects enables the scientist or engineer to manipulate them in the development of new or improved materials. This book provides an introduction to the topic; earlier chapters cover the basic concepts and principles in the chemistry and physics of defects, thus building a framework for understanding how to manipulate defects in a material so as to endow it with new and desirable properties (defect engineering).
Emphasis is placed on linking principles to real-world processes and applications, both past and present. Cutting-edge applications (including high-temperature ceramic semiconductors, solid-state batteries, fast-ion conductors, fuel cells and sensors) will also be covered.
-Provides a thorough understanding of the chemistry and physics of defects, enabling the reader to manipulate them in the engineering of materials.
-Reinforces theoretical concepts by placing emphasis on real world processes and applications.
-Includes two kinds of end-of-chapter problems: multiple choice (to test knowledge of terms and principles) and more extensive exercises and calculations (to build skills and understanding).
-Supplementary material on crystallography and band structure are included in separate appendices.
