Functional and Smart Materials: Structural Evolution and Structure Analysis - Hardcover

Wang, Z. L.; Kang, Z.C.

Hardcover

ISBN 10: 0306456516 ISBN 13: 9780306456510

Publisher: Kluwer Academic / Plenum Publishers, 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, salt, and rutile, with an emphasis on connection among different structure systems. Later chapters are devoted to soft chemistry and to techniques and technologies for studying these compounds and their properties. Includes some 330 b&w figures, and FORTRAN codes for calculation of crystal structure data and electron energy-loss spectra. For researchers and graduate students in materials science, solid-state chemistry and physics, mineralogy, and electron microscopy. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
