The content presented stresses the transformations of solids, both in physical forms and chemical composition. In so doing, topics such as phase transitions, sintering, reactions of coordination compounds, and photovoltaic compounds are described, with kinetics and mechanisms of solid state reactions also covered. This book provides the chemistry of solids, structures of solids, the behavior of solids under applied stresses, the types of reactions that solids undergo, and the phenomenological aspects of reactions in solids.
Kinetics of reactions in solids is very seldom covered in current literature and an understanding of the mechanisms of reactions in solids is necessary for many applications. James E. House provides a balanced treatment of structure, dynamics, and behavior of solids at a level commensurate with upper-level undergraduates or beginning graduate students who wish to obtain an introduction and overview to solid state chemistry.
- Provides a fundamental introduction and entry point to solid state chemistry, acting as a useful prerequisite for further learning in the area
- Presents a balanced approach that not only emphasizes structures of solids but also provides information on reactions of solids and how they occur
- Gives much-needed focus to the kinetics of reactions of solids and their mechanisms where existing literature covers little of this
- Explores crucial solid state chemistry topics such as solar energy conversion, reactions of solid coordination compounds, diffusion, sintering, and other transformations of solids
- Features accessible and well-written examples and case studies featuring many new and bespoke supporting illustrations, offering an excellent framework that will help students to understand reaction mechanisms
Upper-level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students who wish to obtain an introduction and overview to solid state chemistry. Students in materials science, some areas of engineering and physics. Students in physical geology classes
