Jesse Bullington: IMG Abash'd the Devil Stood

The Physics of Amorphous Solids (Wiley Classics Library)

by Richard Zallen

The Physics of Amorphous Solids (Wiley Classics Library) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

'An in-depth study of non-crystalline solids in which the arrangement of the atoms do not have long-range order. Describes the way amorphous solids are formed, the phenomenology of the liquid-to-glass and glass- to-liquid transition, and the technological applications. Emphasizes modern approaches such as scaling, localization, and percolation. Includes extensive treatment of structural aspects of amorphous solids, ranging from metallic glasses, to chalcogenides, to organic polymers. Incorporates illustrations for the clarification of physics concepts.'

Book News Annotation:

An introduction to the study of solids that are not crystals but rather in which the arrangement of the atoms lack the slightest vestige of long-range order. Six chapters discuss topics including formation of amorphous solids, liquid-to-glass transition, and technological applications; the geometry and topology of disorder; chalcogenide glasses and organic polymers; the percolation model; localized-to extended transitions; and optical and electrical properties.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

This book is a tutorial presentation suitable for newcomers in the field on armorphous solids. Examples of amorphous solids include the use of ultratransparent optical fibers in telecommunications, the use of amorphous semiconductors in xerography and solar cells, and the ubiquitous everyday uses of organic glasses as structural materials.

Synopsis:

Ein systematisches Lehrbuch der Theorie, Struktur und Eigenschaften amorpher Festkörper, gedacht für Anfänger auf diesem Gebiet. Illustriert werden diese Grundlagen durch zahlreiche Anwendungen, die beispielsweise ultratransparente optische Fasern in der Telekommunikation, amorphe Halbleiter in der Xerographie und organische Gläser in Architektur und Bauwesen zum Inhalt haben.
