✦ Synopsis

Amorphous and nanocrystalline materials are a class of their own. Their properties are quite different to those of the corresponding crystalline materials. This book gives systematic insight into their physical properties, structure, behaviour, and design for special advanced applications. The book will appeal to researchers, research engineers and advanced students in materials science.
