Structure Processing Properties Relationships in Stoichiometric and Nonstoichiometric Oxides

Overview & Synopsis

Metal oxides form a really interesting world which shows very wide
ranges of various properties, making it important for a variety of industrial
applications. These properties include electrical, magnetic, optical,
optoelectronic, thermal, electrochemical, and catalytic characteristics, which
are analyzed in detail in this book. The author, Speranta Tanasescu, renders an
insightful overview of both stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric oxides based on
how their structures and compositions influence their behaviors and
interactions. Through the book, it is discussed how the conditions of processing
actually affect the formation and properties of metal oxides, casting light on
the role they play in energy conversion, electronics, and material science. This
work provides in an overall way comprehensive understanding of metal oxide
materials, very essential for researchers and engineers who work in the fields
of material science, nanotechnology, and other cutting-edge areas.
