Textbooks intended for the training of chemists in the inorganic
materials field often omit many relevant topics. With its
interdisciplinary approach, this book fills that gap by presenting
concepts from chemistry, physics, materials science, metallurgy,
and ceramics in a unified treatment targeted towards the chemistry
audience. Semiconductors, metal alloys and intermetallics, as well
as ceramic substances are covered. Accordingly, the book should
also be useful to students and working professionals in a variety
of other disciplines.
This book discusses a number of topics that are pertinent to the
design of new inorganic materials but are typically not covered in
standard solid-state chemistry books. The authors start with an
introduction to structure at the mesoscopic level and progress to
smaller-length scales. Next, detailed consideration is given to
both phenomenological and atomistic-level descriptions of transport
properties, the metal-nonmetal transition, magnetic and dielectric
properties, optical properties, and mechanical properties. Finally,
the authors present introductions to phase equilibria, synthesis,
and nanomaterials.
Other features include:
* Worked examples demonstrating concepts unfamiliar to the
chemist
* Extensive references to related literature, leading readers to
more in-depth coverage of particular topics
* Biographies introducing the reader to great contributors to the
field of inorganic materials science in the twentieth century
With their interdisciplinary approach, the authors have set the
groundwork for communication and understanding among professionals
in varied disciplines who are involved with inorganic materials
engineering. Armed with this publication, students and researchers
in inorganic and physical chemistry, physics, materials science,
and engineering will be better equipped to face today's complex
design challenges. This textbook is appropriate for senior-level
undergraduate and graduate course work.
JOHN N. LALENA, PhD, is a private consultant. He was formerly a senior research scientist for Honeywell Electronic Materials, and a semiconductor fabrication process/product engineer for Texas Instruments. He also has served as a visiting professor of chemistry at Gonzaga University. DAVID A. CLEARY, PhD, is Professor of Chemistry and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Gonzaga University. His courses have included physical chemistry and solid-state chemistry. His research interests range from nonlinear optical materials to chemical sensors and ionic conductors.
