Opis

Solid state chemistry is becoming increasingly important as its relevance is recognized in subjects as diverse as superconductivity and heterogeneous catalysis. In the two-volume set, of which this work forms the second part, a distinguished group of internationally known experts present an authoritative account of the properties of inorganic solids and the methods for studying them, written at a level suitable for final year undergraduates or for first-year graduate students embarking on research in the field. This second volume deals with the electronic structure and bonding in solids, and then focuses on several important classes of inorganic compounds. These include materials in which the emphasis is on their electronic properties, such as low-dimensional solids, superconductors and metal-cluster compounds, and those that will find utility as heterogeneous catalysts, for example layer compounds and zeolites. Both materials scientists and physicists, as well as physical and inorganic chemists will find this balanced, and authoritative introduction useful.

Recenzje

the new volume is a valuable addition to the literature devoted to solid state chemistry ... The material is presented lucidly by a distinguished team of contributors and the editors have achieved an effective structure that results in a 'good read' ... There are no weak chapters ... The volume is well referenced and well indexed. It should prove useful for final year undergraduates studying special topics and for first year graduate students embarking on research in the field.
