Overview

Solid state science is the study of matter, specifically of solid systems. The field encompasses materials science, solid state chemistry, solid state physics and parts of electrical engineering. In this book, Kelly Morrison presents a comprehensive overview of the various characterisation techniques involved in solid state research. The generalised approach offers a deeper understanding of the benefits, drawbacks and overlap within different characterisation techniques. The book examines techniques within diffraction, microscopy and spectroscopy, and discusses thermal, electric and magnetic characterisation. It also provides a background to general physics, including atomic theory, general optics, Fourier transforms, magnetism, and crystallographic notation, equipping readers with the knowledge they need to understand solid state science techniques.

Author Information

Kelly Morrison is a senior lecturer and EPSRC Fellow at Loughborough University. She completed her doctorate in physics at Imperial College London in 2010, where she focussed on magnetic materials for solid state refrigeration. Since joining Loughborough University in 2013, she has shifted her research focus towards potential mechanisms for energy harvesting in thin films, in particular, the spin Seebeck effect.
