Kinetic processes: crystal growth, diffusion, and phase transitions in materials

The book coherently introduces the reader to the field of kinetic processes, especially those involved in crystal growth, and explains phenomena such as diffusion, nucleation, segregation and phase transitions at a level accessible to graduate students of materials science, chemistry and physics as well as to practitioners of materials processing. In addition to the basic kinetic concepts, the book presents modern applications where these processes play a major role, including ion implantation, plasma deposition and rapid thermal processing. From the reviews of the first edition: ‘The book is written in a very educative manner and one cleary feels that Jackson is an excellent lecturer. ... this book is also a pleasure for lecturers in materials science and can be used as reference for lectures in materials science and engineering, physics or chemistry.’ Prof. Ralf B. Wehrspohn, Nanophotonic Materials Group, Department of Physics, University Paderborn, ChemPhysChem, 1/2005 Further comments on the book: ‘I like the collection of all these different materials science related topics into one text. In particular, it appears to be an 'in the trenches' approach directed at the day-to-day practitioner. That is a gap that needs to be filled. I think this text will be quite distinct from other offerings in the area, and it will be at home on the shelf of graduate students in materials science who are doing experimental work.’ Dr. Max Bloomfield, Rensselear Polytechnic Institute
