FUNDAMENTALS OF MATERIALS SCIENCE

OUT NOW!Understanding SolidsThe Science of MaterialsRICHARD J. D. TILLEY, University of Cardiff,Wales

Understanding Solids: The Science ofMaterials is a modern introduction to thestructures and properties of solids. Takingan integrated approach, designed to appealto both science and engineering students,the book develops an understanding of theorigin of both physical and chemicalproperties of solids from a foundation ofchemical bonding, which leads naturally to an appreciation of theways in which atoms can aggregate and so generate solid structures.

The book is divided into five sections covering:

• structures and microstructures

• classes of materials

• reactions and transformations

• physical properties

• nuclear properties of solids

Covering a broad spectrum of topics, this book includes numerousup-to-date examples of real materials with relevant applications anda modern treatment of key concepts. Understanding Solids will proveinvaluable to students on traditional materials science andengineering courses as well as those studying chemistry, physics andgeology needing an introduction to the science of materials.0470852763 July 2004 Pbk 560pp0470852755 July 2004 Hbk 560pp

Long-Wavelength Infrared SemiconductorLasers provides a comprehensive review ofthe current status of semiconductorcoherent sources emitting in the mid-to far-infrared spectrum and their applications.

It includes three topics not covered in anyprevious book:

• far-infrared emission from photo-mixers

• far-infrared emission from hot-hole lasers

• InP-based lasers emitting beyond two micrometers

Semiconductor lasers emitting at more than two micrometers havemany applications such as in trace gas analysis, environmentalmonitoring, and industrial process control. No comprehensiveinformation covering the entire field has been available until nowand therefore researchers, application engineers, graduate students,and those who develop mid- to far-infrared emitters and use themfor spectroscopy, astrophysics, environmental monitoring, andprocess control will find Long-Wavelength Infrared SemiconductorLasers a necessary resource.

Special Pre-publication Offer!Corrosion HandbookCorrosive Agents and Their Interaction with MaterialsGERHARD KREYSA and MICHAEL SCHÜTZE, DECHEMA e.V.,Frankfurt/M., Germany.

The DECHEMA Corrosion Handbook (13 Volumes in total) is aprime information source for the selection of materials forequipment in which corrosive media are handled or processed.This unique reference comprehensively provides corrosion dataand the chemical resistance of all technically importantmetallic, non-metallic, inorganic and organic materials incontact with aggressive media.

Faced with the task of optimizing a given environment-material system, the user of this work will find answers to thefollowing questions:

• Is there information available on the behaviour of thematerial under consideration in a particular medium?

• Which materials can be used without hesitation in themedium concerned?

• What are the conditions under which a less resistant, lesscostly material will give satisfactory service?

• Which material offers best performance for value under thegiven circumstances?

• What protective measures exist: inhibitors, coatings, cathodicprotection, etc.?

With the first volume being published in July 2004 and setcompleting in April 2009, this work constitutes the bestevaluated and most comprehensive source of corrosion data forthe international market.

READERSHIP: Practitioners such as engineers, processengineers, plant and equipment constructors, materialsscientists, corrosion specialists, designers working in materialsdepartments of production plants, in the chemical,petrochemical, plastics and food industries, in the automotiveindustry, in structural and civil engineering, in shipping, inelectronics and electrical engineering, in power plantconstruction and operation, in institutes of materials testing,and governmental institutions.

Aiming elementary particles at surfaces and observing the result inorder to glean information on the material is an old discipline:spectroscopy using photons has been performed for more than acentury. But recently, a number of much more exotic, subatomicparticles such as neutrons, muons or x-rays have been generated inmodern cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and due to the steadily growingavailability of measurement capacity they have become a moreattractive alternative way of probing condensed matter in order tobetter understand its properties and to correlate material behaviourwith its structure. This book gives a practical account of how wellthey complement each other for 21st century materialscharacterization.
