• Sommario/riassunto: 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.
