Kinetics of MaterialsAuthor(s): Robert W. Balluffi, Samuel M. Allen, W. Craig Carter\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-Interscience\nISBN-13: 9780471246893, 978-0471246893\nSynopsis\nKINETICS OF MATERIALS A CLASSROOM-TESTED TEXTBOOK PROVIDING A FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF BASIC KINETIC PROCESSES IN MATERIALS \n\nThis textbook, reflecting the hands-on teaching experience of its three authors, evolved from Massachusetts Institute of Technologys first-year graduate curriculum in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. It discusses key topics collectively representing the basic kinetic processes that cause changes in the size, shape, composition, and atomistic structure of materials. Readers gain a deeper understanding of these kinetic processes and of the properties and applications of materials.\n\nTopics are introduced in a logical order, enabling students to develop a solid foundation before advancing to more sophist.
