Proceedings of the Second NATO Advanced Study Institute on Chemical Physics of Intercalation, held at the Chateau de Bonas, France, June-July 1992. The volume covers the spectrum from 3-dimensional oxides, 2-dimensional classical layer intercalates, 1-dimensional doped polymers, and zero-dimensional"

This volume provides a record of the second ASI on the subject "Chemical Physics of Intercalation," which was patterned after its highly successful July 1987 predecessor. A growing community of chemists, physicists and materials scientists has come to appreciate the utility of extending the intercalation concept to generic guest-host compounds and solid solutions. The unifying themes are the complex phase equilibria which result from the competition between repulsive and attractive interactions between and within the guest and host substructures, the tunability of properties by control of...
