Defects and Defect Processes in Nonmetallic Solids
"An ideal text."-Nature
"A book in which a great deal of information has been synthesized in a new, enjoyable, and helpful manner."--"Comments on Solid State Physics
This extensive survey of defects in nonmetals focuses on point defects and point-defect processes, encompassing electronic, vibrational, and optical properties of defective solids--including some discussion of extended defects, such as dislocations and grain boundaries. Its wide scope offers perspectives on nonstoichiometry, fast-ion conduction, nonradiative transitions and their consequences, radiation damage and enhanced diffusion, radiolysis, and the photographic effect. A chapter on surfaces examines surface reconstruction and surface electronic states, in addition to related properties such as catalysis and corrosion. 1985 ed. 191 figures. 43 tables. Supplementary Reading. References. Index.
