Solid State Chemistry (Solid State Phenomena)

This text features 100 refereed papers, grouped under the following six headings: Advanced Synthesis & Characterization Techniques of Materials, Structure & Electron Structure of Solids, Chemistry of Glasses, Novel Inorganic Materials, Layered Compounds, Clathrates & Intercalates, Deposited Films & Surface Chemistry. These headings encompass a very wide range of interests: from theoretical approaches to the structure and properties of solids to a thorough coverage of experiment-based topics (including advanced characterization techniques, chemical aspects of nano- and functional materials, chemistry of oxides, mixed oxides, zeolites, layered compounds and various catalysts, chemistry of glasses and cements, electrochemistry and molten salts) as well as topics involving practical applications (including many ceramics, naturally occurring layered compounds, deposited films of mixed oxides and light metal production). This book should be of interest to every library having an interest in any of the above topics.
