Principles of Inorganic Materials Design, Third Edition

With new developments, understanding materials chemistry is key to successfully solving materials-related problems. Principles of Inorganic Materials Design is vital to students in need of the most advanced and updated information on materials chemistry to better equip for such challenges. Compiling recent publications, the text covers topics like microstructural aspects, density functional theory, dielectric properties, mechanical properties, and nanomaterials, as well as topics hardly discussed like the CALPHAD (CALculations of PHAse Diagrams) method. Through a "how-to" approach and end-of-chapter practice problems, students will learn the nature of design materials.
