Dislocations are defects in the crystal structure of important engineering materials, such as metals, ceramics and semi-conductors, that strongly influence the properties of these materials.
Research on dislocations was intense when the first edition of this classic work was published in the 1960s. By incorporating later developments in subsequent editions whilst retaining a concise, accessible style, Introduction to Dislocations has become established as a key resource for students, graduates and researchers. No other book on the topic is as credible and, with this new edition, as up-to-date.
Introduction to Dislocations is widely recognized to provide the essential knowledge base required for further study, research and technological application in the field. This update brings the book's coverage, references and context in line with the latest developments to ensure it remains a core reference for all those studying and working in the field today.

Electrodeposition allows the "tailoring" of surface properties of a bulk material or, in the case of electroforming, the entire part. Deposits can be produced to meet a variety of designer demands. For this reason and for the possibilities that exist in terms of "new materials" for a variety of applications, a thorough understanding of the materials science of electrodeposition is of utmost importance. This book provides that understanding.

Acoustic microscopy offers the possibility of examining the elastic properties of a specimen with spatial resolution comparable with that obtained using a conventional light microscope. This book provides an account of the techniques for both of those who are new to it and wish to find out what they can reasonably expect from it, and for those who are already using it and wish to understand their results better and go on to more advanced work. Examples of its applications that are given include studies of glass-ceramic matrix composites, geological specimens of granodiorite rock, and the matrix secreted from human bone-derived cells- examples which serve to illustrate applications in which the ability to image mechanical properties directly is of tremendous interest. The factors governing the design and operation of an acoustic microscope are described, and an account of theory is given with the specific aim of guiding contrast interpretations and explaining the various methods of quantitative measurement available. Details are provided of the wide range of applications of acoustic microscopy that have been developed in biology and materials.

A comprehensive introduction to the structure, properties, and applications of materials
This title provides the first unified treatment for the broad subject of materials. Authors Gersten and Smith use a fundamental approach to define the structure and properties of a wide range of solids on the basis of the local chemical bonding and atomic order present in the material. Emphasizing the physical and chemical origins of material properties, the book focuses on the most technologically important materials being utilized and developed by scientists and engineers.
Appropriate for use in advanced materials courses, The Physics and Chemistry of Materials provides the background information necessary to assimilate the current academic and patent literature on materials and their applications. Problem sets, illustrations, and helpful tables complete this well-rounded new treatment.
Five sections cover these important topics:
* Structure of materials, including crystal structure, bonding in solids, diffraction and the reciprocal lattice, and order and disorder in solids
* Physical properties of materials, including electrical, thermal, optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties
* Classes of materials, including semiconductors, superconductors, magnetic materials, and optical materials in addition to metals, ceramics, polymers, dielectrics, and ferroelectrics

This text on the electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of materials stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Suitable for advanced undergraduates, it is intended for materials and electrical engineers who want to gain a fundamental understanding of alloys, semiconductor devices, lasers, magnetic materials, and so forth. The book is organized to be used in a one-semester course; to that end each section of applications, after the introduction to the fundamentals of electron theory, can be read independently of the others. Many examples from engineering practice serve to provide an understanding of common devices and methods. Among the modern applications covered are: high-temperature superconductors, optoelectronic materials, semiconductor device fabrication, xerography, magneto-optic memories, and amorphous ferromagnetics. The fourth edition has been revised and updated with an emphasis on the applications sections, which now cover devices of the next generation of electronics.

This work describes the technology necessary to optimize the performance of any refractory lining. It provides an overview of the thermomechanical behaviour and wear of refractory lining systems, and details the structural behaviour of several classical refractory geometries, highlighting the critical regions of each lining system where high stress is most likely to create fractures.

In this second edition several new topics of technological interest have been added. These include: coupled mechanical and nonmechanical overall properties of heterogeneous piezoelectric materials, new upper and lower bounds for these coupled properties, a systematic comparison between the average-field theory and the results obtained using multi-scale perturbation theory, an account of the uniform-field theory, improveable bounds on overall moduli of heterogeneous materials which remain finite even when isolated cavities and rigid inclusions are present, and a brief account of a fundamental duality principle in anisotropic elasticity. In addition, better explanations of a number of topics are given, more recent references are added, the Subject Index has been expanded and printing and typographical errors have been corrected.
The material is organized into two parts preceded by a précis. Part 1 consists of four chapters which are organized into fourteen sections and four appendixes. It deals with materials with microdefects such as cavities, cracks, and inclusions, as well as with elastic composites. Part 2 consists of two chapters which are divided into seven sections. It provides an introduction to the theory of linear elasticity, added to make the book self-contained, since linear elasticity serves as the basis of the development of small-deformation micromechanics.
Part 2 mainly contains part of the lecture notes on elasticity which the first author wrote in the late 1960's. The material is mostly standard, given for background information.

This book was written to be an introduction to the science of amorphous materials. It is aimed at final year undergraduates, beginning graduate students and researchers in solid-state physics or chemistry, materials science or engineering. Some background of (crystalline) solid-state physics is assumed, say between the levels of Kittel's "Introduction to Solid-State Physics" and Ziman's "Principles of the Theory of Solids", because the authors felt that in a book this length such background materials could not easily be incorporated; however, no knowledge of amorphous materials is assumed. Knowledge about the state of matter has changed considerably since the first edition of this book was published. In part this was due to discoveries, such as the discovery of icosahedral (quasicrystalline) phases in certain metalloid alloys therby forming a bridge between the perfect cyrstalline and the topologically disordered state, but mostly advances have come through a steady application of experimental techniques, both old and new, and the further development of theoretical ideas. The overall structure of the book has been changed slightly by distributing the material relating to amorphous metals throughout the text where appropriate, rather than including it in a separate chapter as in the previous edition. A final chapter on some technological applications of amorphous materials has been added
