Physics of New Materials

Physics of New Materials starts from basic science, especially solid-state physics, and then moves into the research and development of advanced materials. The emphasis of the discussions is concentrated on the electronic and atomic structures and properties of transition-metal systems, liquid and amorphous materials, the nano-phase materials, layered compounds, martensite and other structurally transformed materials, and ordered alloys. The treatment also details physical aspects and principles of new materials, such as strong ferromagnetic alloys, shape memory alloys, amorphous alloys, ultra-fine particles, intercalated layered compounds, deformable ceramics, and nuclear-physics techniques. In addition to these theoretical treatments, modern experimental techniques, exemplified by Mössbauer spectroscopy and electron microscopy, are used to demonstrate the vast range od techniques needed in the development of new materials.
