How can elements be combined to produce a solid with specified properties? This book acquaints readers with the established principles of crystallography and cohesive forces needed to address the fundamental relationship among composition, structure and bonding. Starting with an introduction to periodic trends, the book discusses crystal structures and the various primary and secondary bonding types, and finishes by describing a number of models for predicting phase stability and structure. Its large number of worked examples, exercises, and detailed descriptions of numerous crystal structures

This textbook consists of six chapters. The first chapter highlights the concept of liquid crystals, including chemical structure, phase classification, defect and texture, and continuum theory. It has been carefully written to meet the needs of readers who do not specialize in liquid crystals. The second chapter is related to the theoretical description of liquid crystalline polymers, networks, and gels, which deals with subjects such as the formation of liquid crystallinity in the polymer system, the phase transition and phase diagram, the molecular weight effect, chain conformation, physics

The book contains the contributions from research scientists (experimentalists and theoreticians) who have recently made outstanding systematic investigations with low-temperature properties of solids that are sensitive to quantum tunneling processes. Low-temperature thermodynamic and acoustic properties, optical hole burning, and dielectric properties of different solids, such as amorphous dielectrics (including polymers, superconductors, polycrystalline metals, and metallic and semiconducting crystals) with light impurities (H and D) are reviewed and discussed in terms of interactions with a

Phase transformations in solids typically lead to surprising mechanical behaviour with far reaching technological applications. The mathematical modeling of these transformations in the late 80s initiated a new field of research in applied mathematics, often referred to as mathematical materials science, with deep connections to the calculus of variations and the theory of partial differential equations. This volume gives a brief introduction to the essential physical background, in particular for shape memory alloys and a special class of polymers (nematic elastomers). Then the underlying mat

The Non-Crystalline Chalcogenides is the most detailed book published to date in the field of amorphous and glassy chalcogenide materials. The book covers the scientific and technological information on chalcogens (sulphur, selenium, tellurium) and chalcogenide combinations. Detailed descriptions and a large corpus of physico-chemical data on these materials are the outstanding features of this book. The influence of various external factors, especially light, is treated in great detail and includes the latest news in the research of non-crystalline chalcogenides. The basical applica
