Description:
Lalena, a consultant, and Cleary (chemistry, Gonzaga University) explore topics pertinent to the design of new inorganic materials which are not usually covered in standard solid-state chemistry books. They present concepts from chemistry, physics, materials science, metallurgy, and ceramics in a unified treatment targeted towards the chemistry audience. The books starts with an introduction to structure at the mesoscopic level and progresses to smaller-length scales. Next, consideration is given to both phenomenological and atomistic-level descriptions of different properties of inorganic materials. Worked examples and biographies of major chemists are included.
