Atomistic Properties of Solids (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book deals with atomistic properties of solids which are determined by the crystal structure, interatomic forces and atomic displacements influenced by the effects of temperature, stress and electric fields. The book gives equal importance to experimental details and theory. There are full chapters dedicated to the tensor nature of physical properties, mechanical properties, lattice vibrations, crystal structure determination and ferroelectricity. The other crystalline states like nano-, poly-, liquid- and quasi crystals are discussed. Several new topics like nonlinear optics and the Rietveld method are presented in the book. The book lays emphasis on the role of symmetry in crystal properties. Comprehensiveness is the strength of the book; this allows users at different levels a choice of chapters according to their requirements.

Autorenporträt

Dinker B. Sirdeshmukh taught physics for nearly four decades, first at Osmania University and later at Kakatiya University, Warangal. He was Fulbright Visiting Professor at the University of Rhode Island, USA, and has been Emeritus Professor at the Kakatiya University. Prof. Sirdeshmukh is actively engaged in research for close to 50 years in several branches of Solid State Physics. He has authored about 120 research publications including two review articles in Journal of Materials Science. He has authored two books.

L. Sirdeshmukh was educated at the Osmania University and earned a Ph.D in Spectroscopy. She taught physics for more than three decades at the Kakatiya University. Her research interests are in spectroscopy and dielectric properties of materials. She has published about 80 papers and she was the guest editor of a special issue of the Bulletin of Materials Science. She co-authored a book with Prof. Sirdeshmukh.
