The study of interfaces within and between materials is central to materials science research. For example, interfaces play an important role in many of the mechanical and electrical properties of materials, phase transformations, and material microstructures. This book provides an outstanding overview of the subject, with broad treatments of all aspects of the structure, thermodynamics, kinetics, and properties of interfaces in crystalline materials. Throughout, the authors emphasize conceptual foundations through the exposition of simple models and descriptions of key experimental observations. With Interfaces in Crystalline Materials in hand, students in materials science, crystallography, and condensed matter physics have a comprehensive and unified survey of the subject at their disposal.

Review:

Impressive volume...No other book attempts to give a comparable comprehensive and conscious description of thi wide scientific field. The treatment is suitable for both postgraduate students and scientists who need information on on interfaces. A.P.Sutton anr R.W.Balluffi have succeeded in
presenting a very complex matter in a readable and understandable way. This volume can be warmly recommended to everybody who is engaged in solid state electrochemistry. University of Oxford. Department of Materials

`impressive volume. ... With this volume, A.P. Sutton and R.W. Balluffi have succeeded in presenting a very complex matter in a readable and understandable way. Mathematics has been kept to a minimum and is easy to follow. ... the book is overall of superior quality and can be expected to
become a classical reference source for many years to come. ... this volume can be warmly recommended to everybody who is engaged in solid state electrochemistry.'
