Today modern materials science is a vibrant, emerging scientific discipline at the forefront of physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and medicine, and is becoming increasingly international in scope as demonstrated by emerging international and intercontinental collaborations and exchanges. The overall purpose of this book is to provide timely and in-depth coverage of selected advanced topics in materials science. Divided into five sections, this book provides the latest research developments in many aspects of materials science. This book is of interest to both fundamental research and also to practicing scientists and will prove invaluable to all chemical engineers, industrial chemists and students in industry and academia.
Acclaim for the first edition of Understanding Materials Science: "Hummel tries - and succeeds - to relate the historical developments in the various materials eras (stone, bronze, iron, and electronic) to the principle defining features of ...
Scientists seek to understand and predict those relationships. This short book sets out fundamental concepts that underpin the science of materials and emphasizes their relevance to mainstream chemistry, physics and biology.
The revised second edition of this established text offers readers a significantly expanded introduction to the effects of radiation on metals and alloys.
Check out the 2nd, new edition, available here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-60056-3 This book offers a strong introduction to fundamental concepts on the basis of materials science.
The book is primarily intended for undergraduate students of all branches of engineering (B.E./B.Tech.) and postgraduate students of Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science.
This book describes semiconductors from a materials science perspective rather than from condensed matter physics or electrical engineering viewpoints.
The book offers superior coverage of electrical, optical, and magnetic materials than competing text.The author has taught introductory courses in material science and engineering both in academia and industry (AT&T Bell Laboratories) and ...
This book is also suitable for professionals seeking a guided inquiry approach to materials science. From the author, Elliot P. Douglas: This book is based on the concept of guided inquiry.
The book also will be useful for non-technical professionals in the materials industry.
This book covers the essentials of Computational Science and gives tools and techniques to solve materials science problems using molecular dynamics (MD) and first-principles methods.
