Synopsis

In the search for new functional materials, a clear understanding about the relationship between the physical properties and the atomic-scale structure of materials is needed. Here, the authors provide graduate students and scientists with an in-depth account of the evolutionary behavior of oxide functional materials within specific structural systems, discussing the intrinsic connections among these different structural systems.
Over 300 illustrations and key appendices support the text.

About this title

Review

"A unique, cutting-edge text on smart materials."
Physics Today, November 1998

Synopsis

Describes several crystal structure systems that are frequently observed in oxide functional materials, examining basic modules that are the building blocks of all related structures. Links the structural evolution of each system with mixed valences of rare-earth and transitional metal elements. Early chapters describe structure types such as rock,
