The new edition of this popular textbook provides a fundamental approach to phase transformations and thermodynamics of materials, emphasising explanations at the level of atoms and electrons. Fully revised and updated, and including over 170 end-of-chapter problems, it is a val…
"A very detailed book on multiferroics that will be useful for PhD students and researchers interested in this emerging field of materials science"--Dr. Wilfrid Prellier, Research Director, CNRS, Caen, FranceMultiferroics has emerged as one of the hottest topics in solid state p…
Quantum dynamics underlies macroscopic systems exhibiting some kind of ordering, such as superconductors, ferromagnets and crystals. Even large scale structures in the Universe and ordering in biological systems appear to be the manifestation of microscopic dynamics ruling their…
