Defects in Solids

• Provides a thorough understanding of the chemistry and physics of defects, enabling the reader to manipulate them in the engineering of materials.

• Reinforces theoretical concepts by placing emphasis on real world processes and applications.

• Includes two kinds of end-of-chapter problems: multiple choice (to test knowledge of terms and principles) and more extensive exercises and calculations (to build skills and understanding).

• Supplementary material on crystallography and band structure are included in separate appendices.
