Electrical Properties of Disordered Metals

Zusammenfassung This 1995 book gives a complete treatment of amorphous solids! with particular emphasis on metallic glasses. This class of materials exhibit a particularly interesting range of low temperature electrical properties. The book is designed to appeal to non-specialist metallurgists and material scientists.
