Organized into a two-part structure aimed at readers of differing experience levels, Geometry of Crystals, Polycrystals, and Phase Transformations is accessible to both newcomers and advanced researchers within the field of crystallography. The first part of the text covers what any reader in the material sciences, physics, chemistry, earth sciences and natural sciences in general should know about crystallography. It is intentionally concise and covers sufficient material to form a firm foundation. The second part is aimed at researchers and discusses phase transformations, deformations, and interface crystallography in depth. The phase transformations are limited to those dominated by crystallography. The entire book contains worked examples and uniquely deals not just with crystals but aggregates of crystals and solid-state transformations between crystals.

Über Autor(innen)

Sir Harshad K.D.H. Bhadeshia, FREng, FRS, FNAE, is the Tata Steel Professor of Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge. After earning his PhD from the University of Cambrdige, he worked as a Science Research Council Research Fellow until 1981 and has been part of the academic staff at the University of Cambridge since then. He is the author of more than 500 published papers in the field of metallurgy and several books. In 2006, he was awarded the Bessemer Gold Medal by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining for "outstanding services to the Steel Industry." In November 2008, he became the first Tata Steel Professor of Metallurgy and he established and took the lead of the new SKF University Technology Centre in May 2009 between SKF and the University of Cambridge to conduct research in the field of the physical metallurgy of bearing steels.
