C. N. R. RaoCambridge University PressEdition: 2Rev Ed, 8/21/2008EAN 9780521499071, ISBN10: 0521499070Paperback, 568 pages, 24.6 x 18.9 x 3.3 cmLanguage: EnglishIn the new edition of this widely praised textbook, all the chapters have been revised and the authors have brought the work completely up to date by the addition of new material on numerous topics. In recent years, solid state chemistry has emerged as a very important element of mainstream chemistry and materials science. Students, teachers and researchers need to understand the chemistry of solids because of the crucial role this plays in determining the properties of materials. An understanding of solid state chemistry is also essential in materials design, and many fascinating relationships between the structure and properties of solids have been discovered by chemists. This text requires only an understanding of basic physics, chemistry and crystallography, and is enhanced with the most recent examples, case studies and references. It will be of value to advanced students and researchers studying solid state chemistry and materials science as a text and reference work.Preface to second editionPreface to first edition1.
