Therefore, it is important for researchers to understand how both chemical factors related to composition and procedural choices may influence outcomes. Dynamic Processes in Solids provides an authoritative overview of reactions in solids and helps readers interpret the results obtained from kinetic studies. In chapters written by active researchers, the reader will learn about choosing appropriate experimental techniques and their limitations for studying various types of reactions. Beginning with an introduction to numerous aspects of rate processes in solids and experimental techniques, information is provided on rate laws, factors affecting rates, diffusion, and sintering. Subsequent chapters deal with electrical conductivity in dispersed phase polymers, thermochemical reactions for producing solid materials, reactions in coordination compounds, dynamic observations on plastic deformation, light driven phenomena in quantum materials, decomposition of perovskite photovoltaic compounds, and reaction of oxygen radicals with surfaces. This book is a practical introduction to the field for chemists and researchers whose work is directly related to dynamic changes in solids, and additionally for those in related fields whose work would be enhanced by an understanding of these types of rate processes.
- Presents useful discussions of the applications of several experimental techniques
- Describes approaches for synthesis of solid materials by thermochemical reactions
- Presents theoretical interpretation structural dynamics and processes at the molecular level in solids
- Provides information on the relationships between performance and rate processes in several types of materials related to electronic behavior
Chemists, Materials Scientists, Physicists, Chemical Engineers, Geologists, Nucelar Scientists, Pharmaceutical Scientists, Food chemists, and students and researchers in related fields across both academia and industry
