Book Description
The Book Aims At Providing The Essential Principles On Which The Correlation Between Properties And Structures Of Materials Is Explained Currently. An Introductory Description Of Quantum Mechanics Has Been Incorporated To Show The Microscopic Origin Of Bonding In Solids. Topics Like Chemical Equilibrium, Reaction Rates, Phase Diagrams, Etc. Have Been Introduced For The Synthesis And Growth Of Single Crystal And Polycrystalline Materials. The Properties And Applications Of Semiconducting, Superconducting, Magnetic, Dielectric, Polymeric, Amorphous And Nuclear Materials And High Strength, High Temperature Materials Used In Space Technology Have Been Discussed In Separate Chapters. A Brief Outline Of The Recent Advances In High Temperature Superconductors Has Been Included In This Edition. The Modem Techniques Of Structure Determination Using Various Probes Like Photons, Electrons And Neutrons Are Also Described. In The Presentation Of The Material Major Emphasis Has Been Laid On The Modem Concepts In Materials Science Developed During The Past Few Decades And The Way These Have Helped In The Synthesis Of Newer And Better Engineering Materials. The Book Is Intended As A Two Semester Course On The Fundamental Principles Of Materials Science And Can Be Used For Courses On Solid State Physics And Solid State Chemistry In Indian Universities At The Post Graduate And Senior Undergraduate Levels.
