Study in solid-state physics ordinarily and within the physics of dielectrics particularly has grown speedily in scope and quan tity within the final twenty-five years. within the fifties and early sixties, there has been an upsurge of curiosity in ferroelectricity, piezoelectrici ty' and pyroelectricity. The classical physics of dielectrics, rep resented through books of H. Frohlich, C. P. Smyth, G. I. Skanavi, and A. von Hippel, is now unthinkable with out ferroelectricity. The constitution and houses of ferroelectrics were defined in a few books and stories, together with these of W. Kanzig, H. D. Megaw, F. Jona and G. Shirane, W. J. Merz and E. Fatuzzo. the current paintings offers with the physics of crystalline di electrics and is predicated at the investigations conducted through scien tists through the international. yet, understandably, the emphasis is at the learn performed within the USSR, relatively within the author's labo ratory. a distinct characteristic of this two-volume treatise is the professional minent position given to the symmetry and constitution of dielectrics and to the significance of spontaneous electrical polarization in lots of houses of crystals. actually, those elements take in the entire of the 1st quantity. the second one quantity is anxious as a rule with quite a few homes and phenomena whose nature is illustrated by means of contemplating particular crystals. therefore, for instance, the phenomena of polarization, piezoelectricity, electrostriction, etc., are first mentioned intimately. Then persist with descriptions of those phenomena in particular compounds.

Handbook of Hydrothermal Technology, Second Edition (Materials science & process technology)
Quartz, zeolites, gem stones, perovskite style oxides, ferrite, carbon allotropes, complicated coordinated compounds and plenty of extra -- all items now being produced utilizing hydrothermal expertise. guide of Hydrothermal expertise brings jointly the newest suggestions during this quickly advancing box in a single exceedingly valuable, long-needed quantity.
Physical Properties of Crystals: Their Representation by Tensors and Matrices
First released in 1957, this vintage learn has been reissued in a paperback model that incorporates an extra bankruptcy bringing the fabric brand new. the writer formulates the actual homes of crystals systematically in tensor notation, providing tensor houses by way of their universal mathematical foundation and the thermodynamic family members among them.
Ice is among the so much plentiful and environmentally vital fabrics on the earth, and its precise and interesting actual houses current attention-grabbing parts of research for a wide selection of researchers. This publication is set the physics of ice, through which is intended the houses of the cloth itself and the ways that those homes are interpreted when it comes to water molecules and crystalline constitution.
