This volume, which is unique in its coverage, provides a general introduction to the properties and nature of transition metal carbides and nitrides, and covers their latest applications in a wide variety of fields. It is directed at both experts and nonexperts in the fields of materials science, solid-state chemistry, physics, ceramics engineering and catalysis. The first chapter provides an overview, with other chapters covering theory of bonding, structure and composition, catalytic properties, physical properties, new methods of preparation, and spectroscopy and microscopy.

Solid-state electrochemistry is an important and rapidly developing scientific field that integrates many aspects of classical electrochemical science and engineering, materials science, solid-state chemistry and physics, heterogeneous catalysis, and other areas of physical chemistry. This field comprises - but is not limited to - the electrochemistry of solid materials, the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions involving at least one solid phase, and also the transport of ions and electrons in solids and interactions between solid, liquid and/or gaseous phases, whenever these processes are essentially determined by the properties of solids and are relevant to the electrochemical reactions. The range of applications includes many types of batteries and fuel cells, a variety of sensors and analytical appliances, electrochemical pumps and compressors, ceramic membranes with ionic or mixed ionic-electronic conductivity, solid-state electrolyzers and electrocatalytic reactors, the synthesis of new materials with improved properties and corrosion protection, supercapacitors, and electrochromic and memory devices.

Nanocomposites or mesoscopic materials are of interest in many fields of materials science, solid-state physics and solid-state chemistry. This is also true in the research of magnets much effort has been spent on these kind of materials. The most recent development is that of exchange-coupled magnets, in which hard and soft magnetic fine... 

We already know that the first-principle models involve no adjustable or experimentally-derived parameters. The simulation technique allows one to solve many actual problems in materials science, solid-state chemistry and metallurgy. Density functional theory was employed successfully in recent years because theorists performed total-energy calculations using the exchange-correlation potentials and showed that they reproduced a variety of ground-state properties only deviating a few percent from experimental data. Thus, the acceptance of local approximations to density functional theory has only emerged after many successful applications to many types of materials and systems. 

As corrosion protection by active coatings such as Zn-rich [3], Mg-rich [11], or CP-coatings relies on electrical communication with the underlying metal, the nature of any intervening oxide layer will likely play an important role. As discussed in Section 15.6.3, the electrodeposition of CP films on oxideforming metals is also greatly influenced by the electrical properties of the oxide layer. A detailed understanding of oxide films requires aspects of materials science, solid-state physics, and electrochemistry, and such a discussion is beyond the scope of this chapter. For a detailed discussion of oxide films and their properties, the reader is referred to Ref. [16]. In this section, we provide a brief overview of the... 

Since the discovery of the Mossbauer effect by Rudolf MSssbauer [1]-[3] in 1958 this nuclear spectroscopic method has found a wide variety of applications in materials science, solid state physics. chemistry, metallurgy, and earth sciences. 

Generally, stoichiometry deals with the quantitative relationship of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Strictly sp>eaking in areas of materials science, solid-state physics and chemistry, stoichiometric compounds are compounds that have simple ratios to each other, that is, AxBy, where A, B = chemical element and x,y = natural numbers. There is no limit to the number of elements in the molecule.
