Description

Physics has become more and more important in the research and development of advanced materials. In this work, several fields of physics-oriented new-materials research and physical means of analysis are selected, and their fundamental principles and methods are described in a simple and understandable way. This is a suitable text for university materials science courses. It has been updated with a new chapter which covers developments since publication of the first edition.
