Description for Fundamentals of Amorphous Solids: Structure and Properties
Paperback. Adopting a unique approach, this textbook meets the long-felt need for convincing concepts to describe amorphous solids. It replaces vague notions of amorphous materials as disordered crystalline solids with the well-founded concept of ideal amorphous solids. Num Pages: 272 pages. BIC Classification: PHFC; PNRS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 245 x 171 x 14. Weight in Grams: 596.
Long awaited, this textbook fills the gap for convincing concepts to describe amorphous solids.
Adopting a unique approach, the author develops a framework that lays the foundations for a theory of amorphousness. He unravels the scientific mysteries surrounding the topic, replacing rather vague notions of amorphous materials as disordered crystalline solids with the well-founded concept of ideal amorphous solids. A classification of amorphous materials into inorganic glasses, organic glasses, glassy metallic alloys, and thin films sets the scene for the development of the model of ideal amorphous solids, based on topology- and statistics-governed rules of three-dimensional sphere packing, which ...
