Physical Methods for Materials Characterisation

This completely revised and expanded new edition covers the full range of techniques now available for the investigation of materials structure and accurate quantitative determination of microstructural features within materials.

Physical Methods for Materials Characterisation continues to provide the best introductory resource for understanding the interrelationship between microstructure and physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, as well as the selection and application of techniques for both basic and applied studies.

In particular, changes have been made to reflect developments in the analysis of nanoscale and biological materials.
