Aprašymas

"A comprehensive guide to solid-state chemistry which is ideal for all undergraduate levels. It covers well the fundamentals of the area, from basic structures to methods of analysis, but also introduces modern topics such as sustainability." Dr. Jennifer Readman, University of Central Lancashire, UK

"The latest edition of Solid State Chemistry combines clear explanations with a broad range of topics to provide students with a firm grounding in the major theoretical and practical aspects of the chemistry of solids." Professor Robert Palgrave, University College London, UK

Building a foundation with a thorough description of crystalline structures, this fifth edition of Solid State Chemistry: An Introduction presents a wide range of the synthetic and physical techniques used to prepare and characterise solids. Going beyond this, this largely nonmathematical introduction to solid-state chemistry includes the bonding and electronic, magnetic, electrical, and optical properties of solids. Solids of particular interest-porous solids, superconductors, and nanostructures-are included. Practical examples of applications and modern developments are given. It offers students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-life situations and will serve them well throughout their degree course.

New in the Fifth Edition

• A new chapter on sustainability in solid-state chemistry written by an expert in this field
• Cryo-electron microscopy
• X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA)
• Covalent organic frameworks
• Graphene oxide and bilayer graphene

Elaine A. Moore studied chemistry as an undergraduate at Oxford University and

then stayed on to complete a DPhil in theoretical chemistry with Peter Atkins. After

a two-year postdoctoral position at the University of Southampton, she joined the

Open University in 1975, becoming a lecturer in chemistry in 1977, senior lecturer

in 1998, and reader in 2004. She retired in 2017 and currently has an honorary position

at the Open University. She has produced OU teaching texts in chemistry for

courses at levels 1, 2, and 3 and written texts in astronomy at level 2 and physics

at level 3. She was team leader for the production and presentation

of an Open University level 2 chemistry module delivered entirely online. She

is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Senior Fellow of the Higher

Education Academy. She was co-chair for the successful Departmental submission

of an Athena Swan bronze award.

Lesley E. Smart studied chemistry at Southampton University, United Kingdom. After completing a PhD in Raman spectroscopy, she moved to a lectureship at the

(then) Royal University of Malta. After returning to the United Kingdom, she took

an SRC Fellowship to Bristol University to work on X-ray crystallography. From

1977 to 2009, she worked at the Open University chemistry department as a lecturer,

senior lecturer, and Molecular Science Programme director, and she held an honorary

senior lectureship there until her death in 2016. At the Open University, she was involved in the production of undergraduate

courses in inorganic and physical chemistry and health sciences.

She served on the Council of the Royal Society of Chemistry and as the chair

of their Benevolent Fund.
