Product Review
' a remarkably pointed example of how times have changed. The real strengths of the book are its depth of coverage, bridging advanced undergraduate and postgraduate work, and its material-based approach.' Joan Halfpenny, Chemistry of Britain
' an approach to the subject of structure and bonding in crystalline solids can be recommended for everyone concerned with crystalline solids in the broadest sense, as a useful enyclopedia and handbook of long-lasting value.' Peter Kroll, Angewandte Chemie
Product Description
How can elements be combined to produce a solid with specified properties? This book acquaints readers with the established principles of crystallography and cohesive forces needed to address the fundamental relationship among composition, structure and bonding. Starting with an introduction to periodic trends, the book discusses crystal structures and the various primary and secondary bonding types, and finishes by describing a number of models for predicting phase stability and structure. Its large number of worked examples, exercises, and detailed descriptions of numerous crystal structures make this an outstanding advanced undergraduate or graduate-level textbook for students of materials science.
Reader ReviewsThe book came in great condition. However, if you need it for a class, you better order it after the first day of class, because it took a looooong time to get to me and other people in the class.
