Solid-solid phase transformations in inorganic materials / edited by Yves Bréchet [and others].

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Print version record.

The main objective of this special collection was to present state-of-the-art advances in the field of solid-solid phase transformations. The 204 peer-reviewed papers were divided into 10 chapters: 1: Displacive Transformations, 2: Diffusional Transformations, 3: Transition by Interface Migration, 4: Order-Disorder Transitions, 5: Phase Transitions and Size Effect, 6: Driven Systems and Phase Transformations, 7: Phase Transformations during Industrial Processing, 8: Amorphous Alloys, Quasicrystals and other Complex Phases, 9: Advances in the Theory and Modeling of Phase Transitions, 10: Advances in Experimental Techniques. The present work will be a useful supplement to the classic textbooks on the subject.
