It is an interdisciplinary field that has grown out of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering departments. In this book, Gonz lez-Vi as and Mancini provide an introduction to the field, one that emphasizes a qualitative understanding of the subject, rather than an intensely mathematical one. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book covers the topics usually treated in a first course on materials science, such as crystalline solids and defects. It describes the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of matter; the unique properties of dielectric and magnetic materials; the phenomenon of superconductivity; polymers; and optical and amorphous materials. More modern subjects, such as fullerenes, liquid crystals, and surface phenomena are also covered, and problems are included at the end of each chapter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Materials Science\u003c\/i\u003e is addressed to both undergraduate students with basic skills in chemistry and physics, and those who simply want to know more about the topics on which the book focuses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wenceslao Gonz疝ez-Vis, H馗tor L.
