| Summary |
"Kinetics, Transport, and Structure in Hard and Soft Materials is the only single reference that discusses the connection between the structure and mechanisms of atomic or molecular transport in different classes of materials, from metals and semiconductors to network glasses, polymers, and supercooled liquids." "Kinetics, Transport, and Structure in Hard and Soft Materials emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the topic of transport in materials and presents the material in a user-friendly format for students from any discipline in the physical sciences and engineering with a background in elementary differential equations and thermodynamics or physical chemistry. The relevance of the topic to various applications is emphasized where appropriate."--BOOK JACKET |
