Defects in Solids covers the basic concepts and principles in the chemistry and physics of defects, helping readers understand how to manipulate defects ina material so as to endow it with new and desirable properties (defect engineering). Emphasis is placed on linking principles to real-world processes and applications. Cutting-edge applications (including high-temperature ceramic semiconductors, solid-state batteries, fast-ion conductors, fuel cells, and sensors) are covered. With questions, problems, and exercises, this is a great textfor upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. It's also a practical reference for researchers. INDICE: Preface. Chapter 1.
