DESCRIPTION:
"Great Book that combines a lot of information" according to R. Bagwell. I thought this book was great. It combines a lot of information from "undergraduate" textbooks on material science and mechanics then adds stuff that I would consider as graduate level material. This is a good book to have around that has a wide range of information in it.. A great resource A Customer I am a graduate student studying in the field of nanomaterials. I picked up this book upon advice from a professor and i've thumbed through it's pages on numerous occasions on which i've found exactly what I was looking for. I would not pick this book up if you're interested in problem sets, though. There are only a handful at the end of. A Customer said a really good book for undergrads. This book was a key asset in my third year solid state physics course. The material was easy to follow and explained the concepts very well. I even used it for research papers in my other physics classes. It is a must have for anyone interested in solid state physics.
JOEL I. . GERSTEN, PhD, and FREDERICK W. SMITH, PhD, are professors in the Department of Physics at The City College of the City University of New York
Indeed, of the classical aspects of materials science, ceramics clearly gets less emphasis here than do metals and polymers. These, though, are minor quibbles. There are a few things missing even in this exemplary treatment. (PHYSICS TODAY) Authors note: The topics of electrical conductivity of polymers and organic light emitting diodes are covered in the web supplement to the text in sections W14.7 and W20.7 respectively."an excellent text for advanced students and an excellent reference for more experienced chemi
A comprehensive introduction to the structure, properties, and applications of materials This title provides the first unified treatment for the broad subject of materials. Authors Gersten and Smith use a fundamental approach to define the structure and properties of a wide range of solids on the basis of the local chemical bonding and atomic order present in the material. *An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.. Five sections cover these important topics: * Structure of materials, including crystal structure, bonding in solids, diffraction and the reciprocal lattice, and order and disorder in solids * Physical properties of materials, including electrical, thermal, optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties * Classes of materials, including semiconductors, superconductors, magnetic materials, and optical materials in addition to metals, ceramics, polymers, dielectrics, and ferroelectrics * A section on surfaces, thin films, interfaces, and multilayers discusses the effects of spatial discontinuities in the physical and chemical structure of materials * A section on synthesis and processing examines the effects of synthesis on the structure and properties of various materials The Physics and Chemistry of Materials is a complete introduction to the structure and properties of materials for students and an excellent reference for scientists and enginee
