This third volume continues to set the standard in the field, asoriginally defined by the best-selling two-volume set'Intermetallic Compounds - Principles and Practice'. Withcontributions from 72 authors from 14 different countries, thisbook introduces a broad range of new topics including: newintermetallic families, new means of assessment of bonding andstability, new properties and phenomena, new applications, newpractical processes and new research techniques.
* Stand-alone chapters set out in a manner that is meaningful tonon-specialists, progressing to include knowledge useful toexperts
* New, fully revised, and updated chapters on areas of intenseresearch activity or great importance
* Providing definitions of intermetallic families, intended toassist all readers
* Written for clarity, consistency and thoroughness
* Full and up-to-date referencing to the literature
* Critical assessments of the state of the subject
* Acronym list consolidating new entries with those compiled forthe two earlier volumes
As with Volumes 1 and 2, this is an invaluable aid to bothscientists and engineers. Core reading for those who are startingresearch on intermetallics, and for those who wish to exploit theunique properties of intermetallics in practical applications.
