Opis

Written by Uichiro Mizutani, a renowned authority on Hume-Rothery rules, this book focuses on the stability mechanism of structurally complex phases, beginning with the history, development, and final approach to the goal. It begins with a description of the history of the establishment of the Hume-Rothery rules from 1920s to 1930s and introduces basic theories for allow phase stability. The author describes the long-lasting controversial issues regarding the rules, examining the questions that have been solved and those that have not.
