Chemistry of Non-stoichiometric Compounds (Oxford science publications)

BL A unified presentation of chemistry of non-stoichiometric compounds BL Describes modern examples and applications The concept of non-stoichiometry is crucial to the understanding of the properties of inorganic compounds. An understanding of the chemical and physical properties of inorganic compounds is indispensable to the progress of materials science and ceramics. This book provides a unified presentation of the chemistry of non-stoichiometric compounds based on statistical thermodynamics and structural inorganic chemistry which will be useful to researchers interested in solid-state chemistry and physics, and chemists working in industry.
