Building a foundation with a thorough description of
crystalline structures, Solid State Chemistry: An
Introduction, Fourth Edition presents a wide range of
the synthetic and physical techniques used to prepare
and characterize solids. Going beyond basic science, the
book explains and analyzes modern techniques and areas
of research. The book covers: A range of synthetic and
physical techniques used to prepare and characterize
solids Bonding, superconductivity, and electrochemical,
magnetic, optical, and conductive properties STEM, ionic
conductivity, nanotubes and related structures such as
graphene, metal organic frameworks, and FeAs
superconductors Biological systems in synthesis, solid
state modeling, and metamaterials This largely
nonmathematical introduction to solid state chemistry
includes basic crystallography and structure
determination, as well as practical examples of
applications and modern developments to offer students
the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-life
situations and serve them well throughout their degree
course.New in the Fourth Edition Coverage of
multiferroics, graphene, and iron-based high temperature
superconductors, the techniques available with
synchrotron radiation, and metal organic frameworks
(MOFs) More space devoted to electron microscopy and
preparative methods New discussion of conducting
polymers in the expanded section on carbon
