1: Hydrogen in Intermetallic Compounds I: Electronic, Thermodynamic, and Crystallographic Properties, Preparation (Topics in Applied Physics)

Hydrogen in Intermetallics I is the first of two volumes aiming to provide a tutorial introduction to the general topic of hydrogen in intermetallic compounds and alloys. In the present volume, a series of chapters, each written by two experts in the field, gives a comprehensive review of the following areas: -preparation of intermetallics and their hydrides on a laboratory and industrial scale; thermodynamic properties; -crystal and magnetic structure; electronic properties; - heat of formation models; magnetism and superconductivity.
