Solid-State Chemistry
A Modern Approach
Ashok Kumar Jha
Información del libro
Solid-state reactions have been growing in importance in the preparation of solids, crystal growth, and single crystals of elements. In this new volume, the author discusses in depth recent advances in solid-state chemistry, the latest techniques of characterization of solids, and several new dimensions of solid-state problems. Solid-state reactions, their kinetics, phase transitions, and magnetic properties are discussed in detail, along with electrical properties, semiconductors, metals, and insulators, with examples and explanations. Dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties of solids have been considered as well. Different theories of catalysis and adsorption isotherms are covered, and the author includes several experimental findings as well. And of course, preparation of new solids by taking advantage of recent experimental techniques have also been included in this volume. This volume provides a complete description of solid-state reactions, electrical conductivity, characterization of solids, organic solids, and intercalation between layers of solids. The band theories of metals, semiconductors, and insulators are covered. In characterization of solids, TGA, DTA, DSC, FTIR and PXRD techniques have been described. Preparation and properties of organic solids are also explained. Dielectric properties, photovoltaic effects, piezo electricity, ferroelectricity, and antiferroelectricity have been dealt with, giving relatable examples. A number of excitation energy levels giving rise to luminescence and photoluminescence have been explained under the topic optical processes. Diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic behaviors of solids are also explained.
