DESCRIPTION This well‐established and widely adopted book, now in its Sixth Edi on, provides a thorough analysis of the subject in an easy‐to‐read style. It analyzes, systema cally and logically, the basic concepts and their applica ons to enable the students to comprehend the subject with ease. The book begins with a clear exposi on of the background topics in chemical equilibrium, kine cs, atomic structure and chemical bonding. Then follows a detailed discussion on the structure of solids, crystal imperfec ons, phase diagrams, solid‐state diffusion and phase transforma ons. This provides a deep insight into the structural control necessary for op mizing the various proper es of materials. The mechanical proper es covered include elas c, anelas c and viscoelas c behaviour, plas c deforma on, creep and fracture phenomena. The next four chapters are devoted to a detailed descrip on of electrical conduc on, superconduc vity, semiconductors, and magne c and dielectric proper es. The final chapter on ‘Nanomaterials’ is an important addi on to the sixth edi on. It describes the state‐of‐art developments in this new field. This eminently readable and student‐friendly text not only provides a masterly analysis of all the relevant topics, but also makes them comprehensible to the students through the skillful use of well‐drawn diagrams, illustra ve tables, worked‐out examples, and in many other ways. The book is primarily intended for undergraduate students of all branches of engineering (B.E./B.Tech.) and postgraduate students of Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science.
KEY FEATURES • All relevant units and constants listed at the beginning of each chapter • A note on SI units and a full table of conversion factors at the beginning • A new chapter on ‘Nanomaterials’ describing the state‐of‐art informa on • Examples with solu ons and problems with answers • About 350 mul ple choice ques ons with answers
