Overview

Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this book provides a comprehensive study of interfaces within and between materials, a central concern to all materials scientists. It is comprised of four parts, covering the structure, thermodynamics, kinetics, and properties of interfaces in crystalline materials. Emphasis throughout is on conceptual foundations through the exposition of simple models and descriptions of key experimental observations. The reader is taken through the foundations to the forefront of current reseach by two of the leading researchers in the area. Due to high levels of demand for use as a textbook, the hardback edition, previously available at GBP95.00, has been reprinted and reissued in cover-to-boards binding and priced at GBP49.50.

Sutton and Balluffi provide one of the few detailed expositions of a complex and important field... a wonderful addition to the literature of internal interfaces... It will be useful not only for students, but also for scientists in any field who need a better understanding of strained-layer epitaxy, for instance... the obviously great efforts of Sutton and Balluffi in preparing their book have enormously aided the materials community. Physics Today September 1996

Impressive volume...No other book attempts to give a comparable comprehensive and conscious description of thi wide scientific field. The treatment is suitable for both postgraduate students and scientists who need information on on interfaces. A.P.Sutton anr R.W.Balluffi have succeeded in presenting a very complex matter in a readable and understandable way. This volume can be warmly recommended to everybody who is engaged in solid state electrochemistry. University of Oxford. Department of Materials `impressive volume. ... With this volume, A.P. Sutton and R.W. Balluffi have succeeded in presenting a very complex matter in a readable and understandable way. Mathematics has been kept to a minimum and is easy to follow. ... the book is overall of superior quality and can be expected to become a classical reference source for many years to come. ... this volume can be warmly recommended to everybody who is engaged in solid state electrochemistry.'
