Description
Summary:This important encyclopedia provides comprehensive coverage of condensed matter and materials physics. As well as the core physics and theoretical background for the field, the Encyclopedia also covers areas such as crystallography, transport phenomena, physical properties of materials, and experimental techniques (including scattering, microscopy and spectroscopy techniques). Other entries cover a wide range of materials processing techniques and key materials systems (such as semiconductors, superconductors, nanostructures, macromolecules, etc). The Encyclopedia also covers a wide range of applied topics, for instance devices, developments in biomaterials, soft condensed matter and complex fluids. This work gives solid coverage of the fundamental theoretical aspects of the subject, with carefully planned cross-linking and structuring to give the user the potential to gain a solid grounding in the diverse field of Condensed Matter Physics.
