TREATISE ON SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY

Opis produktu

The last quartercentury has been marked by the extremely rapid growth of the solidstate sciences. They include what is now the largest subfield of physics and the materials engineering sciences have likewise flourished. And playing an active role throughout this vast area of science and engineer ing have been very large numbers of chemists. Yet even though the role of chemistry in the solidstate sciences has been a vital one and the solidstate sciences have in turn made enormous contributions to chemical thought solidstate chemistry has not been recognized by the general body of chemists as a major subfield of chemistry. Solidstate chemistry is not even well defined as to content. Some for example would have it include only the quantum chemistry of solids and would reject thermodynamics and phase equilibria: this is nonsense. Solidstate chemistry has many facets and one of the purposes of this Treatise is to help define the field. Perhaps the most general characteristic of solidstate chemistry and one which helps differentiate it from solidstate physics is its focus on the chemical composition and atomic configuration of real solids and on the relationship of composition and structure to the chemical and physical properties of the solid. Real solids are usually extremely complex and exhibit almost infinite variety in their compositional and struThe last quartercentury has been marked by the extremely rapid growth of the solidstate sciences.
