Thermophysical properties of materials. Enlarged and revised edition.

Author(s) : GRIMVALL G.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

One quarter of this revised version of the book has been rewritten and updated and another quarter consists of completely new and extended material. Recent research has focused on new materials and computational materials science. Another trend is the ever growing interdisciplinary aspect of both basic and applied materials science. Extract from the table of contents: crystal defects; elasticity, basic relations; what values do the elastic constants take?; sound waves (energy transport); the phonon spectrum; thermal properties of harmonic lattice vibrations; phonons in real crystals; atomic vibrations in defect lattices; thermodynamic properties of conduction electrons; thermal properties of few-level systems and spin waves; melting and liquids; equation of state and thermal expansion; electrical conductivity of metals and alloys; thermal conductivity; transport, elastic and thermal-expansion parameters of composite materials; anisotropic and polycrystalline materials; estimations and correlations.
