High Pressure Structural Phase Transitions in Solids

1st Edition
Volume 5
November 1, 2020
Rajeev Ahuja
English

High Pressure Structural Phase Transitions in Solids presents theoretical high pressure activity from an ab initio electronic structure point-of-view. The book provides all available experimental and theoretical data, including unpublished theoretical data that shows how structural phase transitions take place at very high pressure as well as predicted phase transitions using theory under extreme conditions. This book will be appealing to a very broad audience, including those in condensed matter physics, materials science and geophysics. In addition, experimentalists, theorists, basic scientists, applied scientists, and scientists and technologists working at the interface of basic and applied science will find the content updated and refreshing.

Soils and Landscape Restoration provides a multidisciplinary synthesis on the sustainable management and restoration of soils in various landscapes. The book presents applicable knowledge of above- and below-ground interactions and biome specific realizations along with in-depth investigations of particular soil degradation pathways. It focuses on severely degraded soils (e.g., eroded, salinized, mined) as well as the restoration of wetlands, grasslands and forests. The book addresses the need to bring together current perspectives on land degradation and restoration in soil science and restoration ecology to better incorporate soil-based information when restoration plans are formulated.
