This 1972 book brings together the results of a decade of research into
the physics of liquid metals and alloys, a subject of growing interest
to physicists, metallurgists and materials scientists at the time. It
covers a wide range of phenomena, and for the benefit of newcomers to
the field, Dr Faber provides a clear exposition of the physical
properties involved, and the relevant theoretical arguments are
developed in sufficient detail for an experimentalist who carries rather
little in the way of mathematical equipment to follow them. Experienced
researchers will appreciate Dr Faber's critical approach and the many
previously unpublished results which he has included. The mass of
experimental data which he has brought together and the comprehensive
bibliography will make the book of great use to readers of both classes.
