Structure and Bonding in Crystalline Materials

From Book News, Inc.
Introducing the established principles of crystollography and bonding, this book focuses on the relationship between the composition, structure, and bonding in crystalline materials. It describes periodic trends, the atomic structure of crysytalline solids, the experimental interrogation of crystalline structure, and the origins and varieties of cohesive forces. Models for predicting phase stability and structure are also discussed. The book is intended for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students. Rohrer teaches materials science and engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR


Book 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.


Book Info
And advanced undergraduate and graduate textbook for students of materials science. Introduces periodic trends, describing the structure of crystalline solids, the experimental interrogation of crystalline structure, and how these forces influence the solid. Offers examples, exercises, and detailed descriptions. Softcover, hardcover also available.
