Transformations of Materials
Transformations of Materials by Dimitri D. Vvedensky, published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers on September 30, 2019, is a comprehensive exploration of phase transformations in materials, focusing on their significance in controlling microstructure. This edition spans 183 pages and is presented in English, making it accessible to a wide audience interested in the intersection of science and technology.
Readers will find detailed discussions on various topics, including thermodynamics, Brownian motion, and diffusion in solids, as well as nucleation and growth processes. Each chapter is designed to reinforce understanding through exercises, with solutions provided in a separate manual. The content is tailored for students from diverse academic backgrounds, including physics, mathematics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering, ensuring a broad applicability in the fields of condensed matter and materials science.
Official synopsis Publisher
Phase transformations are among the most intriguing and technologically useful phenomena in materials, particularly with regard to controlling microstructure.
After a review of thermodynamics, this book has chapters on Brownian motion and the diffusion equation, diffusion in solids based on transition-state theory, spinodal decomposition, nucleation and growth, instabilities in solidification, and diffusionless transformations. Each chapter includes exercises whose solutions are available in a separate manual.
This book is based on the notes from a graduate course taught in the Centre for Doctoral Training in the Theory and Simulation of Materials. The course was attended by students with undergraduate degrees in physics, mathematics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering. The notes from this course, and this book, were written to accommodate these diverse backgrounds.
