Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Suited for courses in ceramics, this text is grounded in the fundamentals of ceramics, with emphasis on solid-state physics and chemistry. Chapters 1-9 deal with the atomic structure, bonding the transport of charged defects and their relationships to conductivity in ceramics, phase diagrams and glasses. Chapters 11-16 deal with specific properties and include mechanical thermal dielectric and optical properties.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Bonding in ceramics -- Ceramic structures -- Effect of chemical forces and structure on physical properties -- Thermodynamic and kinetic considerations -- Defects in ceramics -- Diffusion and electrical conductivity -- Phase equilibria -- Structure, formation and properties of glasses -- Sintering and grain growth -- Mechanical properties: Fast fracture -- Creep, slow crack growth and fatigue -- Thermal stresses and thermal properties -- Dielectric properties -- Magnetic and nonlinear dielectric properties -- Optical properties.
