Description
The present volume concentrates on methods for preparing solids and studying their structures and physical properties while the other will survey compounds with particularly important or useful properties. Among the methods described in this book by experts active in the field are diffraction and vibrational, electronic, photoelectron spectroscopies. Bulk measurements such as conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and calorimetry are also described, along with theoretical modelling of crystal structures. J.D.
