Overview

For this third edition, Solid State Chemistry is packed with new features. Building a foundation with a thorough description of crystalline structures, it presents a wider range of the physical and synthetic techniques used to characterize solids. Now also contains a section on fuel cells and photochromic materials, and covers conducting organic polymers, organic superconductors and fullerenes. Other new topics include mesoporous solids and ALPOs, photonics, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), and p-wave (triplet) superconductors. An entire new chapter in this edition looks at the solid state chemical aspects of nanoscience.
