Functional and Smart Materials: Structural Evolution and Structure Analysis (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1998)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1998, 4 May 2013

In the search for new functional materials, a clear understanding about the relationship between the physical properties and the atomic-scale structure of materials is needed. Here, the authors provide graduate students and scientists with an in-depth account of the evolutionary behavior of oxide functional materials within specific structural systems, discussing the intrinsic connections among these different structural systems.
Over 300 illustrations and key appendices support the text.
