Solid-State Chemistry

by A.K. Cheetham (Editor)

A rapidly expanding branch of science, solid-state chemistry grows more and more important as scientists recognize its relevance to subjects as diverse as optoelectronics and heterogeneous catalysis. The first of two volumes, this book concentrates on methods for preparing solids and for
studying the structures and physical properties. Among the spectroscopic methods described in this book are diffraction and vibrational, and electronic and photoelectronic. Bulk measurements such as conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and calorimetry are also described, along with theoretical
modelling of crystal structures.
