Chemistry Of Non-stoichiometric Compounds (Oxford Science Publications)

Features of Chemistry of Non-stoichiometric Compounds (Oxford Science Publications)

As inorganic materials are put to more and more practical usesmainly in electric magnetic and optical devicesmaterials scientists must have an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the chemical and physical properties of inorganic compounds This volumethe first of its kind in twenty yearsprovides a unified presentation of the chemistry of nonstoichiometric compounds based on statistical thermodynamics and structural inorganic chemistry Four modern examples of nonstoichiometric compoundsionic conducting compounds hydrogen absorbing alloys magnetic materials and electrical materialsare discussed in detail Students and researchers in structural inorganic chemistry crystallography materials science and solid state physics will find this muchneeded book both practical and informative
