      The results obtained from kinetic studies on reactions in solids often depend on numerous factors. 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.
