Materials Science and Technology A Comprehensive Treatment Edited by R.W. Cahn, P. Haasen, E.J. Kramer The 18-volume series ?Materials Science and Technology? is the first in-depth, topic-oriented reference work devoted to this growing interdisciplinary field. A compendium of current, state-of-the-art information, it covers the most important classes of materials: metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, semiconductors, and composites, from the fundamentals of perfect semiconductors via the physics of defects to "artificial" and amorphous semiconductors. Edited by internationally renowned figures in materials science, this series is sure to establish itself as a seminal work. Volume 11: This self-contained handbook provides a unique source of in-depth information on the structure and properties of ceramic materials. As a reference work this volume will be indispensable to ceramics engineers and physical scientists. Topics include: Oxide/Nitride Ceramics ? Crystal Structures ? Glass Ceramics ? Diffusion in Ceramics ? Mechanical Properties ? Toughening ? Cellular Ceramics ? High-Temperature Engineering Ceramics ? Superionic Conductors ? Ferroelectric/Ferrimagnetic Ceramics ? Semiconducting Polycrystalline Ceramics ? High-T_c Superconductors
