• Anyone who has taught materials chemistry will be aware that it is an expansive subject.
• Whilst this makes it exciting, it can also overwhelm students who end up lost in the detail.
• This book provides an antidote.
• Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students, Core Concepts for a Course on Materials Chemistry is a distillation of the fundamental topics born out of the author's 30 years of teaching experience.
• Covering many broad themes in materials chemistry, this textbook provides teachers and students with the essential concepts in a concise form.
• Taking a systematic approach, the book is arranged into seven chapters: Solid State Structure Defects and Non-stoichiometry Thermal Properties Electrical Properties Magnetic Properties Optical Properties Materials Synthesis and Fabrication The author adopts a telescopic approach to each area, capturing the broader picture before detail is revealed, allowing students to readily make logical connections.
• The strong visual focus conveys complex ideas in a comprehensive style, supporting the physical and analytical presentation.
• A note on how to effectively use the book is included for instructors, making this text easy to embed in existing or new materials chemistry courses.
• Students will benefit from the numerous examples that place the topics in the right context, and the exercises that test comprehension.
• Suitable for chemists and materials scientists, this book is ideal for self-study, as well as for the efficient teaching of a course.
