Publisher Summary 1
Typically, students of materials science were required to take an elementary chemistry course, say Chemists Lalena (Evergreen State College, Washington and U. of Maryland-Europe) and Cleary (Gonzaga U., Washington), but any further chemistry was taught in the context of one or another course in materials. Over the past couple decades, however, new materials development has relied ever more heavily on synthetic chemistry, and they decided that materials students could use a course specifically on the fundamentals of designing materials through synthetic chemistry. This text is designed for such a course at the undergraduate level, and the second edition not only been updated and expanded, but corrected. The number of worked examples has been increased, and answers appended for selected chapter-end problems. No date is noted for the first. Annotation 漏2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Publisher Summary 2
Unique interdisciplinary approach enables readers to overcome complex design challengesIntegrating concepts from chemistry, physics, materials science, metallurgy, and ceramics, Principles of Inorganic Materials Design, Second Editionoffers a unique interdisciplinary approach that enables readers to grasp the complexities of inorganic materials. The book provides a solid foundation in the principles underlying the design of inorganic materials and then offers the guidance and tools needed to create specific materials with desired macroscopic properties.Principles of Inorganic Materials Design, Second Editionbegins with an introduction to structure at the microscopic level and then progresses to smaller-length scales. Next, the authors explore both phenomenological and atomistic-level descriptions of transport properties, the metal?nonmetal transition, magnetic and dielectric properties, optical properties, and mechanical properties. Lastly, the book covers phase equilibria, synthesis, and nanomaterials.Special features include:Introduction to the CALPHAD method, an important, but often overlooked topicMore worked examples and new end-of-chapter problems to help ensure mastery of the conceptsExtensive references to the literature for more in-depth coverage of particular topicsBiographies introducing twentieth-century pioneers in the field of inorganic materials scienceThis Second Editionhas been thoroughly revised and updated, incorporating the latest findings and featuring expanded discussions of such key topics as microstructural aspects, density functional theory, dielectric properties, mechanical properties, and nanomaterials.Armed with this text, students and researchers in inorganic and physical chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering will be equipped to overcome today's complex design challenges. This textbook is recommended for senior-level undergraduate and graduate course work.
