Böcker av Michel Barsoum

Offers an introduction to ceramic science. This book introduces the structure and properties of ceramics with a focus on solid state physics and chemistry. It considers bonding in ceramics, their physical structures, and their properties. It deals with factors determined by microstructure and thermal, dielectric, magnetic, and optical properties.

This second edition of Fundamentals of Ceramics adds a section on density functional theory calculations for shedding light on properties. It also adds more on applications, including solid oxide fuel cells as a case study and a major overhaul of the last chapter on optical properties.
