Understanding Solids
The Science of Materials
RICHARD J. D. TILLEY, University of Cardiff,
Wales
Understanding Solids: The Science of
Materials is a modern introduction to the
structures and properties of solids. Taking
an integrated approach, designed to appeal
to both science and engineering students,
the book develops an understanding of the
origin of both physical and chemical
properties of solids from a foundation of
chemical bonding, which leads naturally to an appreciation of the
ways in which atoms can aggregate and so generate solid structures.
The book is divided into five sections covering:
structures and microstructures
classes of materials
reactions and transformations
physical properties
nuclear properties of solids
Covering a broad spectrum of topics, this book includes numerous
up-to-date examples of real materials with relevant applications and
a modern treatment of key concepts. Understanding Solids will prove
invaluable to students on traditional materials science and
engineering courses as well as those studying chemistry, physics and
geology needing an introduction to the science of materials.

production, storage, conversion to power, and applications in
materials science. In so doing, the book covers all the pertinent
materials classes: metal hydrides, inorganic porous solids, organic
materials, and nanotubes. The authors present the entire view from
fundamental research to viable devices and systems, including the
latest scientific results and discoveries, practical approaches to design
and engineering, as well as functioning prototypes and advanced
systems.
An important resource for all those working in large key industrial fields
such as the automobile industry, energy supply, chemicals, aerospace, as
well as materials scientists, physicists and graduate students.

Flow and Transport in Porous Media and
Fractured Rock
MUHAMMAD SAHIMI, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
An established, highly successful handbook providing problems
dealing with flow of fluids in porous media, ranging from packed
beds to soil, oil, gas, and geothermal reservoirs, to groundwater
aquifers. It has become one of the standard references of the field.
This book provides in a unique way a comprehensive discussion of:
porous media problems
experimental methods for characterising porous structures
classical approaches and modern methods and a comparison of
both
fractured rock and porous media in a unified manner

X-Rays, Neutrons and Muons
Combining Synchrotron Radiation Techniques for
Material Characterization
WALTER E. FISCHER, Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Villigen, Switzerland
Aiming elementary particles at surfaces and observing the result in
order to glean information on the material is an old discipline:
spectroscopy using photons has been performed for more than a
century. But recently, a number of much more exotic, subatomic
particles such as neutrons, muons or x-rays have been generated in
modern cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and due to the steadily growing
availability of measurement capacity they have become a more
attractive alternative way of probing condensed matter in order to
better understand its properties and to correlate material behaviour
with its structure. This book gives a practical account of how well
they complement each other for 21st century materials
characterization.

Magnetism: Molecules to
Materials V
JOEL S. MILLER, Department of Chemistry, Salt
Lake City, UT, MARC DRILLON, Director of
Research, CNRS, Inst. de Physique et Chimie des
Materiaux de Strasbourg
Magnetic behaviour, once thought to be
mature, has gained a new momentum as it
is being expanded by contributions from
molecular chemistry to materials sciences to
solid state physics. This open series of
volumes provides a much-needed
comprehensive overview of this growing
interdisciplinary field. The balance between theory and experiment
within this series will guide advanced students and specialists in
evaluating experimental observations and will serve as a basis for
the design of new magnetic materials.

The Physics of Granular Media
HAYE HINRICHSEN, University of Wrzburg, Germany and DIETRICH E.
WOLF, University of Duisburg, Germany.
This new reference provides quick access to the current level of
knowledge, containing high-level review articles covering recent
developments in the field of granular media from the viewpoints of
applied, experimental, and theoretical physics.
The authors represent different directions of research in the field,
with their contributions covering static properties of granular
materials, sand piles and avalanches, vibration-induced patterns,
segregation, flowing granular matter, cohesive granular matter,
pastes, charged granular matter, friction and traffic flow. A
concluding chapter discusses computational aspects.
A must-have for advanced researchers and specialists as well as a
useful starting point for anyone entering this rapidly expanding
field.

An Introduction to the Optical Spectroscopy
of Inorganic Solids
JOSE SOL, LUISA BAUSA and DANIEL JAQUE, all of University of Madrid,
Spain
This practical guide to spectroscopy and inorganic materials meets
the demand from academia and the science community for an
introductory text that introduces the different optical spectroscopic
techniques, used in many laboratories, for material characterisation.
Treats the most basic aspects to be introduced into the field of
optical spectroscopy of inorganic materials, enabling a student to
interpret simple optical (absorption, reflectivity, emission and
scattering) spectra
Contains simple, illustrative examples and solved exercises
Covers the theory, instrumentation and applications of
spectroscopy for the characterisation of inorganic materials,
including lasers, phosphors and optical materials such as
photonics
This is an ideal beginners guide for students with some previous
knowledge in quantum mechanics and optics, as well as a reference
source for professionals or researchers in materials science,
especially the growing field of optical materials.

The Art of Scientific Writing
From Student Reports to Professional
Publications in Chemistry and Related
Fields, 2nd, Completely Revised Edition
HANS F. EBEL, CLAUS BLIEFERT, University of
Applied Sciences Munster, Germany and
WILLIAM E. RUSSEY
This book is so full of information that
a beginner in research could possibly
be put off. He should persevere and
read the whole book. There is so much
here which is of help.
CHEMISTRY AND INDUSTRY (REVIEW FROM THE FIRST EDITION)
Most scientists live in a publish or perish environment, but few
would describe themselves as brilliant writers. Coming to the aid of all
those wishing to improve the quality of their scientific writing, three
experienced authors from differing backgrounds and cultures have
worked together to compile this classic guide to scientific writing.
This new edition has been completely revised to reflect dramatic
changes in communication over the past 15 years. The primary
emphasis is on writing techniques, accurate expression, adherence to
accepted standards, and above all clarity, but the authors also
venture into communication technology and organizational as well
as ethical aspects of science.
