Given the recent expansion in materials chemistry, this book addresses several of the vigorous areas of research in this field, where inorganic materials are central to the research. Each chapter provides an introduction to the subject under discussion and then develops the field to provide a sensible overview, with certain topics being expanded. Written by an international group of researchers the nine chapters cover such important areas as inorganic superconductors, magnetic materials, biogenic inorganic materials, polymeric co-ordination compounds, liquid crystals and precursors for...

Functional oxides have a wide variety of applications in the electronic industry. The discovery of new metal oxides with interesting and useful properties continues to drive much research in chemistry, physics, and materials science.
In Functional Oxides five topical areas have been selected to illustrate the importance of metal oxides in modern materials chemistry:
Noncentrosymmetric Inorganic Oxide Materials
Geometrically Frustrated Magnetic Materials
Lithium Ion Conduction in Oxides
Thermoelectric Oxides
Transition Metal Oxides -...

With physical properties that often may not be described by the transposition of physical laws from 3D space across to 2D or even 1D space, low-dimensional solids exhibit a high degree of anisotropy in the spatial distribution of their chemical bonds. This means that they can demonstrate new phenomena such as charge-density waves and can display nanoparticulate (0D), fibrous (1D) and lamellar (2D) morphologies.
This text presents some of the most recent research into the synthesis and properties of these solids and covers:
Metal Oxide Nanoparticles
Inorganic...

Inorganic materials are at the heart of many contemporary real- world applications, in electronic devices, drug delivery, bio- inspired materials and energy storage and transport. In order to underpin novel synthesis strategies both to facilitate these applications and to encourage new ones, a thorough review of current and emerging techniques for materials characterisation is needed. Examining important techniques that allow investigation of the structures of inorganic materials on the local atomic scale, Local Structural Characterisation discusses: -Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy -X-Ray...
