Interfaces In Materials: Atomic Structure, Thermodynamics And Kinetics Of Solid/Vapor, Solid/Liquid And Solid/Solid Interfaces

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

JAMES M. HOWE, PhD, is Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Virginia. He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards for his research on transformation interfaces and electron microscopy, and his articles have appeared in such journals as Philosophical Magazine A, Acta Metallurgica et Materialia, and Ultramicroscopy.
