Synopsis
Ice is one of the most abundant and important materials on Earth, and its unique physical properties are an active area of research in a number of disciplines. This book focuses on the physics of ice, its material properties, and how these are reflected in its molecular and crystalline structure. Despite its simple crystal structure, ice has a rich array of properties due to its hydrogen bonds, and this book includes an extensive discussion of this research. The book provides a careful development of the physical principles underlying the properties of ice and is aimed at pure and applied researchers in the field. It features descriptions of new work on electrical, mechanical, and surface properties, and on the occurrence of many different crystalline phases.

Review
"Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this text describes the unique properties of ice and the ways in which these properties are interpreted in terms of water molecules and crystalline structure. In each chapter, the subject is introduced from first principles and the reader is directed to selected important papers on the topic. The volume is illustrated throughout with b&w graphs, diagrams, and photographs. Petrenko teaches engineering at Dartmouth College, and Whitworth recently retired from teaching crystal physics at the U. of Birmingham, UK."--SciTech Book News

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Ice is one of the most abundant and environmentally important materials on Earth, and its unique and intriguing physical properties present fascinating areas of study for a wide variety of researchers. This book is about the physics of ice, by which is meant the properties of the material itself and the ways in which these properties are interpreted in terms of water molecules and crystalline structure. Although ice has a simple crystal structure its hydrogenbonding results in unique properties, which continue to be the subject of active research. In this book the physical principles underlying the properties of ice are carefully developed at a level aimed atpure and applied researchers in the field. Much work on important topics like current understandings of the electrical, mechanical, and surface properties, or the occurrence of many different crystalline phases are developed in a coherent way for the first time. This book describes the physical properties of ice, interprets them in terms of its molecular structure, and shows their relevance to the forms of ice found on Earth and in space.
